I really wasn't sure what to expect as I emerged from the changing rooms tonight - would the lanes be busy if the world & it's dog had resolved to swim more in 2014?? Luckily swimming doesn't appear to be top of many peoples 'to do in 2014' lists (though worth noting it's top of my Sister's list: http://morethanjustabaglady.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/bucket-list.html?m=1) - not many new faces but some of the familiar ones were still there!
I seem to have injured my right leg just below the knee - I'm not really sure what it is but I get a niggly pain every now and then since my Christmas Eve pub ride. I wasn't sure how this would hold up in the water tonight as I could feel it when I went swimming last time on 28th Dec. When I got in tonight, I could definitely feel the pain as I kicked out so I used a little less force in my legs and it seemed OK. I was only going to do half a mile (32 lengths - 800m) as I don't want to push my leg and do any damage but my rhythm felt smooth (for some reason it gets easier the further I swim, totally opposite to how I would expect!) so I cracked to to 1km (40 lengths). Should also help me work off the lemon cheesecake I are at work today!
Hopefully I won't be paying for it tomorrow & my leg will hold out for my return to the gym - though looking through the window tonight, a lot of people have certainly resolved to work out more as it was really busy! Wish me luck!
