I am not a brick. I am not a dead weighted, slow moving lump of flesh. I am an efficient, swimming propeller.
Today I could not believe my endurance in the pool. I set out to swim 1,000 meters.
I did it, without stopping, albeit doing the backstroke at the 600m mark for 100m. I know to some, this may not sound incredible, or even a benchmark. But this is the longest I have swum consistently in several months.
Moreover, when I did the backstroke, I felt unafraid of my face going under water, involuntarily.
Tomorrow is the Big Lake Half Marathon, arguably my favorite race of the year. Heavy rains are predicted, similar to last years race.
My goal is to crack 1:40:00, given my PR is 1:43. I don't have a particular race plan to date, but I want to break through.
Employ, execute, and prevail.
