With the week off, I am in need of some serious saving. That is, I need to be saved from myself and the dumb things I have the potential to do. I may need to hire someone to babysit me. Anyone up to the task? I'm not as rambunctious as I was when I was younger so no duct tape will be needed to keep me in check.
Today was a scheduled day off, but I went to the pool. I did an easy swim to help flush out my legs from yesterday's long run. My right hamstring reminded me today what happens when I do a lot of treadmill running and then take to the streets. My poor legs suffer as a result. So I wanted to help myself along. I went down to the dreaded Y and their 100 degree pool. Well, maybe not 100, but it can feel like it at times. The board on the pool deck said 86 degrees, but as soon as I slipped into the water, I knew it was much cooler. They play games with the old folks there. They put up a higher number to make them think the water is warm. Personally, if the old folks would just SWIM and not stand around and flap their gums, they would be warm. But I digress......
There weren't many people there, but I wound up being the odd one out and had to share a lane. I picked the end lane because it's slightly wider than the rest. My lane partner was a man with a sweater on. OK, it wasn't a sweater but he could use some serious manscaping. It wasn't long before most people got out of the pool and then it was just me, one other swimmer and 3 lifeguards. I finished up my swim, took a quick shower and then came home.
I'm fighting the urge to go downstairs to ride. Wingman is working late so I am on my own for a little while longer. In my head I can convince myself that it would be an 'easy' ride, but I know at some point I'll blow it. Arghhhh, I'm going stir crazy!!!! And to think I am not even tapering...........
