I went to the pool today intending to do another 1.5 miles, but by the time I was 100 yds in, I was feeling the fatigue from yesterday's P90x Legs & Back workout. There were two good things that came out of that workout - I greatly improved in pullups and chinups over previous performances, and I think that finally, leg soreness will be minimal. The downside is that it appears my lats are just tuckered out and haven't recovered.
For whatever reason, I just wasn't feeling all that great about the swim workout the entire time. I could relax and settle into a rhythm for a short period of time, but never had that groove going for an extended period of time. By the time I got to the 36th lap, I decided that I had had enough - I just wasn't feeling it today, I felt sluggish in the water, and didn't want to develop bad neuro-muscular habits in part because of being fatigued. For a while I was trying to look at it as an opportunity to make sure that my form would be maintained through fatigue, but continuing that requires a lot more mental fortitude than I had on this particular day. Oh well, these things happen.
37 laps - 31:48
