Impromptu Rest Day

Legs feel heavy so no running or biking.  I want to get in a nice long run tomorrow so I decided to give my legs a rest.


Workout:

  • 60 / 50: 3000 meters or 1.86 miles
    • I discovered swimming in cooler water does wonders for my swimming endurance...60 laps was do-able.  Threw in some speed work too.
Post workout:
  • Bottle of "Mexican Coke" (real sugar)
    • I'm not particularly against high fructose corn syrup...because in my opinion by the time processed sugars get into their final form...sugar is sugar.  But I've read a bunch that fructose digests differently.  So if I do real sugar I hedge against any chances since it's composed of both glucose and fructose.
    • If you're afraid of high fructose corn syrup, stop eating fruit.
    • High fructose corn syrup only exists because of ridiculous corn subsidies...but that's another story.  Corn isn't going to solve any problems.
NBA Playoff time.

  1. You'll also presumably have a wet-suit that will make you more buoyant also right?!

  2. It's not clear that you'll need at least a full wetsuit out there at that time of year...those small lakes can tend to be pretty warm depending on how they're fed.
