Tonight I did cross training. I figured this weekend if I did any type of working out it would be a jog and my legs would than be extremely exhausted from the week's runs. So I swam. I swam a long time. If you have ever lap swam by yourself, you definitely know where I'm coming from.. it is mind-numbing!!
To pass the time I was trying to calculate my distance (32 laps equal 1 mile) in my 60 minute swim. Sick that I thoroughly enjoyed this brain teaser. And just because I loved it so much I will tell you method :)
I averaged 40 seconds down each time. So I rounded up to 45 seconds and got 1.5 laps per minute. Next I timed 60 x 1.5. That is 90 laps. So divide 90/32 which is 2.8. Take away a little for rest/slowing down and I think I did 2.5 miles? I told the lifeguard what I was doing because I needed to know the 32 laps thing… she said that was the first time she heard of anyone doing math in the pool. :)
15 mins freestyle
15 mins kick
15 mins pull
15 mins freestyle
No music, no talking… just yourself thinking. Yet, I love this workout too because I feel great afterwards!
Hope everyone else is doing fantastic!
