What a better day. Yesterday only got worse culminating at 6pm with what I want to call rock bottom. I picked up a battery and proceeded to install it on our van. She fired up and all engine codes were gone. Seems as though that Broke Dick at the dealership needs to head back to car fixin’ school. Well cross your fingers, I need this to be fixed.
Today started off at 0418 as every m-w-f does. It’s a special day. It’s the long swim day. Two workouts, one long in the am and one about 3-4k after work just to suck what was left out of some tired muscles.
After 8k this morning I sat in my car for a moment sipping on some recovery protein. I thought to myself, Remember it. This feeling, right here. I don’t get it often anymore but, it’s what keeps me pushing farther. My body is temporarily shot. Totally broke down for a bit. My shoulders are (good) burning, water sloshing in my ears, my eyes are swelled up from the goggles but, I feel really great. I hammered long and now I am receiving the endorphin reward. My addiction. After 18 miles running last Saturday, I got nothing. Maybe I’ll get it after 20 next week. But for now, who gives a shit my bank acct. empty, who cares my car is broke down. I am content.
Side bar- WTF is up with the swim crowds in the morning? Macedonia Rec is getting crushed from 530a-730a. I actually saw some noodlers trying to circle swim.
