Well, true to my word Todd and I went and did a cardio session this morning. After waiting up most of the night for him to finish up at work I ended up sleeping a little late this morning. It was the first time the sun has been out in days and was much too hot to go for a run. I really wanted Todd and I to do something fun seeing as we won't be seeing in the New Year together so I suggested a swim. Low and behold, he actually agreed.
It actually felt really good to be in the water. We ended up going to the baby pool (it's only 25m) as both of us were a little concerned about our ability to swim an entire lap! Swimming always seems to me to be one of those things where there is very little transfer from other activity. I have to say though that I was feeling really good today. We both wore flippers (only the short fins, but still cheating a little) and I alternated four laps of freestyle to two with a kickboard, but i actually got out 40laps and felt really good at the end. I thought about swimming longer but Todd had definitely had enough, and I didn't want to overdo and then not go back for weeks.
It's about an hour later now though and the fatigue is really starting to kick in. The exercise combined with the sun has left me feeling more than a little sleepy. I'm pretty sure I could lie down and sleep for the rest of the afternoon. Poor Todd, he's off to work for the afternoon and most of the night.
It was soooo good to do something healthy and fun together. Todd was feeling so good afterwards he even suggested salad rolls for lunch. I was more than just a little impressed with him.
Anyway, big afternoon ahead. Going out to dinner with some girls tonight, so I'll need to straighten the hair, shave the legs and make myself presentable. I'm glad we went swimming, even though I know I don't look any different I certainly feel a little bit better about myself.
