Morning swim

A morning swim workout which I cannot at all reproduce, except that it included 3 x 100 IM which I made a brave stab at...

(Lane tension this morning--yesterday was bliss in comparison--on Monday night there was lane tension also in the usually delightful lane I swim in, one new person introduced himself and one regular was absent and it threw everything off.)

Resolution: though I really would like to swim all three CU morning workouts, I should think seriously about feeling free to skip the Friday one when I haven't had enough sleep that week. I didn't get home last night till 11:30, finally fell asleep around 1 but woke up pretty much every hour and was mildly horrified when 5:30 arrived and it really was time to get up.

I really wanted to go today, and it was good, I got in some more backstroke practice that I'll be very glad of at my lesson tomorrow. And because of the hiatus, I haven't been swimming as much as I'd like--and I'll miss some next week because of a work-related weekend trip.

But in terms of my Saturday morning long run, it will do not good if I am always or often only sleeping four hours on Thursday night. I will see how this goes--I would love to get my sleep on a better schedule, but it's tricky, a lifetime of late-night habits and troublesome insomnia makes it seem an almost insurmountable challenge...
