Boredom forces an extra workout

Swam in the am, 2000. Pool was full, but I got there early and claimed my lane. After a warm up I did a TT for 500m and came up with 8:32.

After class I made the conscious decision to run in the 88 degree heat because it was a shorter run, 5 mile. Saw 4 other crazy heat stricken folks. 7:49/mi

Stretched for a good amount of time, then ate dinner. While I was eating I was contemplating my evening. I could piddle on the net (which is SLOW), I could read, I could go to sleep...and then I had the crazy idea to swim. I am in the middle of three weeks in which I am trying to swim 4 days a week, up a little over my norm. Comparing my options, I decided to swim. To make it a easy workout I decided to do a w/u then a straight mile. I ended up swimming 30:03, about 3 and half minutes faster than the last and only other time I did a straight mile. It's amazing what confidence in knowing I could do the distance can do....that and a "competitor" swimming next to me.
