Overdone

I think I might have overdone it on the weights yesterday, y'all.  I'm sore.  My legs and arms are sore but legs super sore.  Like, don't take a full step kind of sore.  Use your hands to sit down kind of sore.  The soreness will dissipate in a few days but until then, owie owie owie.

Today I went swimming.  I hadn't been in the pool for 3 weeks friends.  And I felt like a sinking battle ship.  Big, heavy, and sinking.  I swam the half mile I'll have to swim in the Iron Nut and even though I felt like a sinking battle ship, it took me the same 13 minutes to swim it that it did the last time I timed myself on a half mile swim.  Then I did more interval swims until my arms felt like jelly moving through the water.  I like there was just no muscle left to pull anymore water.  I talked myself into finishing with another 500 yard freestyle, but 100 yards in, my left shoulder started hurting so I pushed on until I finished 250 yards and let myself stop.  Shoulder pain is not something I want to mess around with this close to race day.

I'm not sure what I'll get into tomorrow.  Not many opportunities left for a strong workout left.  I'll start tapering  down on Sunday or Monday.  Shar is out of town so I'm responsible for kicking my own butt this weekend.  Wish me luck!
