Last night was shocking. I was in bed for 10 – fatigued and ready for sleep, but it didn’t come. I’d close my eyes but my mind wouldn’t switch off. As a result, very very tired this morning. My eyes have been stinging since I woke up, on about 4 hours sleep, to squealing. Not a pleasant start to the day. On top of the lack of sleep tiredness, my body feels fatigued. It’s like I can’t muster the energy to do anything at the moment. I just want to sleep. One of the girls at work today said that I was quiet, and had been all day. I was. I said it was just down to tiredness, which I honestly think that it is.
My the SLDL from the other day has caught up with my hamstrings and they’re tight, although not nearly so bad as they were this morning, before the swim, and before wearing my skins about for the afternoon. I w
onder if a full length pair might be in order. I really think that wearing them helps, even wearing the quad length ones. The only issue that I have is that to get the compression I need for my legs, I need to go small around the waist. I’m in a YXL at the moment, even though it’s pretty tight around my waist. I think that they’re getting looser though, that I am losing a bit of fat; but it’s always hard to tell with something so tight, and stretchy. Would like to try a shirt, but don’t know. We’ll see. Am definitely going to get, maybe two more pairs in the staff order, when they’re about 40% off (I think) but not sure about a shirt yet. I guess it would help with the weights, and for that reason I would probably have to look at a full length one – would also be good for golf.
On the topic of gear, I’ve found the sexiest watch ever!! It’s a polar RS300X – orange. Every time I go into the fitness area, I put it on. I wear it well, and I think it looks great on my wrist. It’s just that I really don’t need two heart rate monitors. I’ve already a FT60, and love it, but I really like the look of the other one.
Swim was ok. I wasn’t feeling great before I even went. Had it in my head that I wasn’t going to swim well, or that it was going to be a whole lot more difficult to do what I’ve done on the other days before I even set out. To my surprise and delight, I managed to beat yesterdays for both the k and 30 minute mark. Pretty happy.
