Are things going too well today?

Distance: 800m
Crawl: 32 lengths

I was disappointed to miss my sports massage yesterday, as the therapist was ill and not up to giving my legs the good pummelling that I'd been looking forward to. This meant I was also a bit worried that today I'd be even stiffer than usual, so imagine my surprise this morning when I found it quite easy to walk downstairs. Normally Monday mornings spell a rather stiff and sore right knee, and various other aches and pains from the previous day's exertions. It's such a pleasant change to be able to scale the stairs without apprehension...

So off to the pool at lunch as usual, for my half hour weekly recovery session. Last week I hated this, and cut it short after 25 lengths. But today it's a bit of a breeze. I make it to 32 lengths in under 30 minutes, as I was barely resting at the ends. I even managed to sprint the last couple of lengths, and not wobble out of the pool afterwards in complete exhaustion.

I hope I can keep this up for the next 4-and-a-bit weeks. I feel better than James Brown!
