Swimming

I spent the majority of Sunday limping around. This morning hurt less, but still not up for any kind of knee-bending activities. Instead, I took to the pool. I swam the following:

15 laps legless backstroke
15 laps legless breaststroke
10 laps legless crawl
5 laps full crawl

I went mainly legless since even with the 5 laps in a crawl my IT band was achy. By the end my goggles were oddly leaking as well. Annoying. I was using the older indoor pair, which a little more generic, a little cheaper.

While I felt good to have gotten in some "cardio", its not remotely as satisfying as running. I feel crippled and frustrated. Cardiovascularly I can run for 20+ miles without too much trouble. This shouldn't be happening. I will give jogging another shot on Wed or Thurs.
