Had my swim final today, made it 850 yds (lol I’m definitely a runner, not a swimmer). The breathing is what got me. And apparently I kick like a runner haha. I was surprised how tiring it was. I probably should’ve run today, but I had no motivation. It was probably good to rest my hip flexor. Just have to power through one more week, my motivation to do anything is so low right now.

Wow! I would have probably drowned! :)

I got put in the 800m group for this coming track season.

You wrote before that you are also in the 800m group. It would be interesting to compare training.

Yeah I’m in the 800 group! That would be cool to compare workouts :)

How are you feeling about running? Is it getting to be more enjoyable for you? I know you said it was difficult for you. I know how that feels, I fall in and out of that funk too. What helps me is to look at the workouts as opportunities to run fast and not so much as things I have to do. Making sure I remind myself of the reasons I’m working hard and doing these workouts has helped me to stay motivated and enjoy what I’m doing... idk if that’s helpful haha but I’m cheering for you!
