Running!!!!!

Water running
5 x 1:30 hard (2 sets)

Ok, so maybe the title of today's blog is just a teeeny bit deceptive, but technically its true. After work tonight I hit the local pool to try out some water running. I managed to convince S to go with me, which was just as well because as soon as I got there, I wanted to go home! Swimming is just not my thing at all, but once I was in the water it was actually kind of fun.

I did the sets as per the program, but it's hard to know if I was doing it right - I don't think my HRM likes the water as it was giving me a HR reading of over 220 at certain times! Yeah, so I am a little out of shape, but I should be dead at 220bpm!!

Without S there I would have really struggled, so I really appreciated him coming down - I'm not sure how I will cope on my own, but at least I started off on a high point! Who knows - I may just come to like this water running thing. My shin hurts a little now, which I was surprised about - it must have just been the movement of the water around my lower legs - it's not too painful, more on the tender side.

I called the Angliss today and went over at lunch to pick up my x-rays from last week. I have an appointment with the podiatrist tomorrow night, so I can't wait to see my results! I really want to open the CD up tonight, but I won't know what to look for anyway, so I really am better waiting.
