I'm so happy with my life & schedule right now. Either it's all coming together because of the intentions of this blog OR it would have happened anyway and I'm just aware of it because of this blog. Either way, I'm happy. Things feel super balanced right now.
I woke up this morning & had a couple of phone appointments.
Then I headed to the pool to get in a swim.
I felt so strong in the pool today. I felt healthy and energetic. Here's what I did:
200 meter warm-up
8x 25-meter repeats on the 50-second mark
8x 50-meter repeats (each 50-meter takes me about 1 minute and 6 seconds and I'd start again on the 1:00 mark following (so about a 50-second rest).
It was definitely a full recovery but that's okay, it felt good. I was keeping a nice, slow, even pace.
Also, I tried to increase my lung capacity which you do by going under water and essentially holding your breath as long as possible. I can hold my breath for a whopping 10 seconds! It's bad!! I need to work on this!
I officially registered for a triathlon on May 3rd, which is in a 50-meter length pool. The one I train in is 25-meters so the purpose of the 50's today was not to go all out or anything, but just to get accustomed to that being my only option the day of.
I'm also proud of myself because I planned ahead and packed my lunch today!! The meeting I have next is further away than the pool so I packed my lunch and now I'm sitting at a coffee shop on the way, getting some work done, updating my blog and eating lunch. I ordered an iced coffee so I didn't feel bad using their wifi or taking up one of their tables.
I mean, how can I not be happy when I'm sitting outside enjoying this beautiful weather? Here's my set up currently... it's not hard to be happy!

I've been feeling the exact same way about a life of abundance! This is awesome! I'm insanely happy for you and I'm also super glad we started doing this again. It's made a HUGE difference for me - I know it.
