Week 1: From Spain to Morocco

5/28/13
1000 yds.

Untimed

Focused on bilateral breathing.  Felt great, but shoulders were tight.  Stiffness when rotating.  I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do 20 laps, but I did it!  I felt triumphant.  I learned not to use Nike goggles. It would be good to eventually include yoga for strength/flexibility.  I'm back!

6/1/13
1025 yds.
30 min.
Focused on bilateral breathing.  Felt great.  However, had never done interval training before!
I learned:
1) Think of one end of the lane as Spain, the other as Morocco.
2) When doing intervals, breathe every 3.
3) Put the clock at the opposite end of the pool from where I'm starting.
4) Interval training is hard ... but not as hard as being in labor.
5) Try to get workouts completed before Saturday, because pool is crowded on Saturday.
