Sarah- Tuesday, July 15th

Into the pool again today. I'm feeling weird about not actually running on pavement but, damn, it's hot. It's in the high 90s to low 100s everyday and I just can't get up early enough to do it. The last 2 days have been me feeling incredibly exhausted. At the risk of oversharing, I do have very heavy periods (just the first 2 days) so that's what I've been doing. It's never been much of a bother before (aside from remembering to empty the DivaCup OFTEN) but it may be the late nights that I've been staying up accompanied by the increase in activity. I'm attributing it to possible anemia. I'm back on my multi w/ iron when I can remember and we're eating red meat a few nights for dinner. Feeling better today. I did an hour in the pool running but was getting bored so I did about 6 laps in the pool for every 20 minutes that I ran. It broke it up nicely. The key to pool running, I have found, is really focusing on form. It's easy to lose track of what you're doing and the form goes to shit and so does the workout. I can definitely tell a difference in exertion- much better workout when I'm paying attention.
