This morning's cross country practice included a 1 mile warmup, a 3-mile continous tempo at 7 minute pace, and a 1 mile cooldown. It was definitely tough during the tempo but it just shows that there's a lot of room to improve!
After cooling down I drove over to the gym for a swim. I got in the pool right after an aqua class and had to share a lane with someone. Now, here's the big question for the day: is there such thing as pool etiquette or courtesy??
When a lane opened up next to me after I had been sharing with a man for awhile, I switched over so we could have our own lanes. When I was a few laps in to the new lane, a woman just came over and got in the pool next to me. I paused to see if she was going to ask to share, but she just started swimming right away. I was a little annoyed that she didn't ask and was wondering if it was because she didn't know you were supposed to ask, or if she didn't ask because she knew I was young and thought I wouldn't care. What do you guys think??
In the end, my swim workout looked like this:
- 2 laps warmup
- 2 x 10 laps (each lap at approximately 1:05 pace)
- 2 laps cooldown
Total distance: 600 yds
I came home and made another dessert-worthy breakfast. This shake reminded me of a Wendy's Frosty, which is most definitely my top fast food pick. I haven't had a Frosty in years and this healthified version definitely came pretty close!
Frosty Chocolate Protein Shake
serves 1
- 1/3-2/3 cup milk (or almond milk, I used half chocolate almond and half nonfat dairy)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp protein powder
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- ice
Blend all until it reaches desired consistency and enjoy! I put in 1/3 cup of milk in the beginning and then slowly added in the other ~1/3 cup as I was blending to get mine to the right consistency.
A spoon was needed to slurp up this chocolatey goodness!
What is your experience with pool "courtesy"?
