asleep on the floor

Almost a week into August already, and I realized that I haven't posted my monthly summary for July yet. I remember the days when my running totals would far outweigh anything else... funny how things change.

Run Distance: 32.09 km

Swim Distance: 13550 meters

Bike Distance: 242.68 km

Last night was our run/swim clinic night. Run -- craptastic. Not much positive to say, and I don't want to whine, so that's all I'll say about that. Hit the pool for what would be my second night in a row of swimming, and worked on endurance. I did a 400 meter set, then a 450 meter set, both which are more than my Try-a-Tri distance. Amazing that I could barely do one length of the pool when I finally got back in the pool last fall! My arms were actually burning by the end of my swim last night, first time feeling that in the water, guess it really is a more than just a cardio workout!

Typically I take Thursdays as a rest day, but switched up my schedule a bit this week due to the pools being closed this past Monday for a holiday. I've been a little tired this week, sleeping a little too late, waking up feeling tired, hitting the snooze button more than once. So I thought that today I'd still take it easy, and do a little yoga; my body could use a good stretch. I had a break during the day, Terron was outside playing, so I queued up one of the yoga podcasts I have specifically for runners. At the end, when laying down on the mat in Shavasana, arms and legs stretched out, completely relaxed, I took it a step further, falling asleep on the floor! I'd probably still be sleeping, except that Terron came inside to get a glass of water, completely startling me awake. I nearly jumped through the ceiling! Relaxation over. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
