rest day, brief swim

Friday is the rest day in the marathon training regimen I am following. So of course I went for a swim @ Richardson's Beach. Two laps, arms only, concentrating on technique. On the return leg of lap 1 I noticed that I seem to be more able to flip from side to side as I make each stroke (having your side downwards is faster than swimming with your chest parallel to the surface of the water). So I tried to pay attention to this new conciousness of flipping from side to side and began to have a somewhat surging feeling to my strokes.

I'll be interested to see my times @ the Sunday swim clinic after that brief two lap experiment of side flipping and no legs.

8 miles running tomorrow
17 miles Sunday

the right foot is angry. the left knee is merely a tiny bit sore.
