Sluggish workouts

Mon PM: 8K run at snails pace.
Tue AM: 1500m swim at sea-snails pace.
Wed AM: 6 * 1K intervals @ about 4:45 with 2 minutes walking rests.
Sleep: Poor
Weight: 78.2 (hey hey hey it's Chunderbolt - na na na gonna have a good time)

Monday was your typical recovery run - it felt rusty, I was a bit sore and not into it much. I finished strongly enough, and pulled up OK. I ran my hilly little scenic six and a bit loop with an extra lap of the lake in Bicentennial Park to make up 8K.

After a sleepless night on Monday, I took it really easy in the pool on Tuesday morning - 1500m divided into three lots of 500m with a breather between each lot.

Now, as I hinted at in my previous post I am involved in a new romance. This means that I am generally in a really good mood most of the time at the moment, but let me tell you: there is nothing in the world that can put a positive spin on speedwork after two consecutive nights of insomnia.

I had severe motivation deficit disorder this morning, and the first K effort was just horrible. I picked up a bit after that, but in general it was a tough workout. Since I am posting away from my computer I don't have the splits, but they were all around 4:35 - 4:50. There were six of them. I'm still feeling sore six hours later so let's call it a bloody good workout - I really felt it.

In other news, I saw the doctor yesterday, and I am weaning off the antidepressants. I reckon the time is right, but time will tell if the insomnia gets silly. I'm pretty happy about this.
