Or at least damp. It's moderately sticky out there, moreso from exercising, washing up, then heading directly out into it.
Good swim this morning. Well, mostly good. I'm learning more about my form through the drills, and it's making me realize what "mistakes" I'm making (i.e., driving the leading hand down too quickly, moving the head up when I breathe, etc.). Otherwise it went well, with less need for breaks in between lengths.
I'm coming to more of a focus for the workouts at the moment, but I need to hop on and pick a running race or two to compete in this fall to get that part of it kicked up. I think I'm going to neglect the biking for the nonce, past the occasional trip to work or the gym, and concentrate on swimming form and running endurance. I've already noted my resting heart rate is dropping again (from the mid-to-low 60s to the mid-50s or so), so am seeing improvement. Also I weighed myself on
lioncub's body fat scale and while my overall weight had not dropped since the last time I'd measured (a few months back), the bodyfat % had dropped by 2% or so (still too high for my tastes, but better). Whee.
Anyway, meeting with da boss here shortly over some projects on my desk, hopefully allowing me to get rid of one or two of them.
