Day Sixty-Two

Swim/Run

This is my make up day.  I skipped out on Sunday and this is my day to get those workouts in.  I swam in the morning.  I have never swam on a Monday and I hope not to do it again.  I like things neat and orderly.  Well on Monday mornings in the pool you swim without lane lines.  This makes no sense to me.  People cannot follow the line on the bottom of the pool, we need lane lines.  There were swimmers all over the place.  It actually allowed fewer people to swim because it was so disorganized.  People were switching lanes, swimming perpendicular to the lines, it was a mess.  WE NEED LANE LINES.  When I asked if this is how it is ever Monday, they told me it was.  I would much rather be in open water where you assume you will not always swim straight than in a pool without line that you are suppose to swim straight in.  I want to assume that I was swimming straight, how hard can it be, but I am sure everyone thinks that everyone else is the crazy zig-zag swimmer.  Madness....I will not swim in that pool on Monday ever again.  I cannot start my day with that kind of chaos.

Run - I did not feel like running, but it ended up being fine.  I ran for an hour and a half with a long climb (160 meters over a mile and a half).  Samara got attacked(ish) by a dog who was aggressive but the owner just had knee replacement so when her dog pulls she said she 'just has to let him go.'  Maybe she should not be walking her aggressive dog.  At least she mentioned they are in training.  So there was Samara cowering, tail between her legs, hovering somewhere between standing and laying down screaming for help, for fear, for doggie angels, maybe for the Big Dog to rescue her...I am not sure for what but she was screaming loud.  I had to take the leash of the other dog and walk him back to his owner.  My little dog was fine, just scared and pulling me for the next few miles, hair on her back standing up and tail between her legs at every dog sound that occurred.

When I got home I tried my new POM Recovery drink.  I was exhausted from my run and must have misread the directions. I made it too strong and within minutes I was in the bathroom, head in the toilet for at least four rounds.
