Breakthrough

After work, I sludged through the snow to the gym and worked back and biceps until it was time to hit the pool.

I swam for 30 minutes as usual, but I had a breakthrough today. I don't know what I changed, but I was actually able to slow down my freestyle swim stroke enough that I wasn't gasping for air after a length. Every attempt prior resulted in me sinking when I slowed down. Now I just need to continue swimming and build up some endurance, clean up my stroke, and then try to add the speed back in. I'm hopefully hitting the pool again tomorrow.

Once I got home, I went out for a 50 minute run through the snow. It was very peaceful when I got to McCarren Park, as there was no one else out there. I ran a mile on the track just b/c I could run through fresh snow and I was the only one running. On the way back, my foot started hurting again. This time it was my left foot. My right felt completely fine. Now that I'm home, my left feels fine and my right is giving me issues. This is really frustrating.
