Pool was closed for college swimming and water polo competitions so gym it was. 10 min warm up on the rower then a bit of everything strength, but mostly leg and core. Ever so slowly getting rid of my fear of the gym...

Actually think my foot was feeling a bit better when I first walked today! So I'll go for a walk later and do some 30 second jogs again.

Rainy walk with some 30second jogs thrown in. I think it's possibly a little better than it has been! Fuuuuun

Wanted to feel like i'm doing something proper so I got some swimming sessions from an old teacher who does triathlons.
3* 100m free, 50m breaststroke, 50m backstroke, 100m free as a warm up.
10x 100m w/ 15sec rest - breathing like a mad man it was tough!
300m kick.
300m free.
Rainy morning and loads of beetles in the pool, perfect conditions... I think I did enjoy it though, I like that I feel exhausted now!

Also, the poor guy in the lane next to me had a sneezing attack mid lap. He swims with a snorkel and came up for air with it pushed across his face making the loudest noises i've ever heard, and he was fine so giggling is allowed.

Bit o strength, bit o yoga

10 laps before and after the...

... attempt at aqua jogging! Not sure how I feel about it, I felt like my legs were maxing out with the speed but I just wasn't getting as puffed as I felt like I should... maybe I did it wrong, or the belt I used wasn't right or something. Anyway, I tried to do 3x 3, 2, 1min, and then 8x 30sec at the end. Will definitely take a bit of getting used to!

Minimal physio work. Got dry needled in the foot at my appointment in the morning and that was a bit uncomfortable for the rest of the day, plus I was so so tired for some reason, so decided that was enough.

4x10 laps in the rain with an attempt at water walking a little bit in between. 2km is just about all my little arms can handle atm I think hahah. Treated myself to some speedos to make all this swimming I'll be doing slightly more fun.

Walked to a grass field to do 5x 30sec jog 30sec walk. Felt it. And also felt like my feet were so heavy and unco!

Gym class. First 15min was not what i signed up for, but after that it was good.

Just strength at home after walking from the train station. Have some spiffy new taping thanks to Paula and will give it a test run tomorrow!

A bit pressed for time before the trip to Sydney for the Stingers sprint, but fitted in 2x 10min tempo type efforts and a really skimpy warm up and down.
