Goodness.
That’s all I can say right now. Goodness.
I am so totally exhausted. When I hit the 500 yard mark, I thought, Not bad! I can easily do 2000+ yards today! When I hit the 503 yard mark, I thought, OMG I’m so gonna DIE!!!!
Okay, honestly, that was around the 1100 yard mark. But the last 500 yards up to 1800 were horrible. I was trying to keep my calf from cramping up, so I basically did no legs at all and all arm work via the backstroke. For 500 yards.
When I got out of the pool, I could walk at a top speed of about 3/10s of a mile per hour.
The good news is when I got on the bus, I felt that warm glow over my entire body—people who’ve done a really hard workout will know what I mean. It’s very relaxing and tranquil.
Unfortunately, I had to get off the bus and walk up the hill to my house instead of falling asleep there on the bus (see also: side of the road). But now I’m home and feeling that warm glow wanting to come back, so even though it’s just barely 9 PM, I’m hitting the hay and sleeping until I feel like getting up.
Oh yeah. Before I forget, with my 1800 yards today, grand total is now 15,200 yards, with 1,744,800 left to go. When I get to 17,600 (which will probably be next Tuesday, since I don’t see myself doing more than 2000 yards on Monday) I will have 10 miles done, which will put me at 1% complete.
