My last day of holidays (bummer). I love Monday's, my recovery day. Headed to the gym today and finished a really solid weight session.

3 x glute machine (20 reps each leg)
3 x abductor (20 reps)
3 x adductor (20 reps)
3 x leg press (15 reps)
3 x rotator cuff (20 reps)
3 x chest press (15 reps)
3 x back press (15 reps)
100 x crunches

20 minutes streching
1500m swimming

I felt really strong swimming today and I feel my style has improved. I don't bother with time or count strokes per lap. I just enjoy the motion of swimming and not having to worry about pace, etc.

Speed session. This is probably my first speed session since November. I have been concentrating more on my endurance than speed over the past few weeks.

I was not hopping for any PBs, but to just get out there and finish the speed session. I must say the wind was ridiculously strong. I was planning on a Mona's Session, but decided on 8 x 400s to avoid the wind (as much as I could).

3.8km Warm up.
400s: 1.49; 1.54; 1.48; 1,46; 1.51; 1.53; 1.45, 2.03(???)
Cool Down: 2.33

Total Kms (including recovery) 12.5km
