Sunday:
I had a bad day! I burned my toe on a baseboard heater. I planned to go swimming. I made it to the pool. I got dressed, and was showering off before heading to the pool. I set my stuff (googles, ear plugs, mp3 player) on the shower floor, and stood up. I hit my head on a frigging wall mounted soap dish and gashed my head. So now I am bleeding from my head, and my swimming plans were cancelled since I am sure they wouldn’t want me in their pool with an open, bleeding head wound.
I ended up spinning easy on my bike for about 30-45 minutes.
I want to get a swim cap and head back tomorrow night.

Monday:
Since I have a healing gash on my head, I bought a silicone swim cap to keep it relatively dry. I agaim restricted myself to freestyle. I swam 1 mile in 39:36. I continued on and swam 1.2 miles in 48:15. I believe these are both personal bests for these distances.

Tuesday:
I got home from work and started my running. I ran 1 easy mile, and then ran 4 x 400m intervals @ 6:00 pace. I wanted to do more, but had to get to karate classes. I did two 1 hour karate classes.

Wednesday:
Swam 2.4 miles (Ironman distance) in 1:42:49. This is my new personal best time for this distance!

Thursday:
Ran 4 miles. 2 miles @ 10:00 pace, and 2 miles @ 7:36 pace.

Friday:
Took the night off, and went to a holiday party.

Saturday:
Swam 1 mile, working on form and reducing stroke count.
