No run today. Suppose to be my day off but still have too much energy to burn. Swam 2 miles at the rec center. First mile pushed the pace and did it in 24:36 (about 2 minutes slower than my training pace when I was doing tris regularly). Second mile I put myself into cruise control and did in in 31:06.
You don't get a "runner's high" from swimming obviously but it has its own attraction. I think part of the attraction is you really turn off the world around you, kind of like sensory deprevation. You don't hear anything but a little splashing and all you see is the blue water. Very relaxing. |
