I did the speed workout with Run Club tonight. It was a brisk night with an iced over track, so we headed to the west side highway for some fartleks. This was my first speed workout in quite awhile, so I wasn't sure how my body was going to react. I ran with the front group for the first three intervals (we did 3 mins at 5K pace with a 2 minute "recovery"). Then I dropped back and formed a smaller group for a slightly slower final two intervals. I probably got in 5+ miles in running.
After the run, I went up to the gym and lifted chest/shoulders before jumping in the pool for 30 minutes. I finally feel like I'm making more progress in the pool. I'm able to do more distance freestyle without having to switch to breast stroke to recover. I still can't get my breathing right on my left side, but I'm working on it.
Overall, it was a productive day. I'm on the road to getting back in shape...
