03-31-2025 Run/Swim

Had another rough night sleeping. I woke up after midnight with moderate pain in my jaw, perhaps something like a sinus headache. Couldn't get comfortable, so I got up and ate something, to exercise my jaw. It helped a little bit, I read some and was able to get back to sleep, but it wasn't too refreshing.Got up around 6:00 and looked for the other battery for my Akaso camera, since I didn't think the original one was charging. No luck, still need to find where it went to. I went for a run down by the park, in mist that at times turned to drizzle. This was not a high-energy run, my legs felt tired from the previous day, and perhaps from being under the weather for a week. I ran around the park four times, pretty slow pace but fairly steady. It was pretty hard running back up the hill to get home, legs felt really heavy.

Avg pace = 8:53/mi

Total distance = 5.14 mi

Elapsed moving time = 45:39

I was damp when I got home, and then I changed into my swimsuit to get ready to go to the WWC. Checked my camera battery and it appeared to be charged, which was a pleasant surprise. So, I took it as well. Was raining on the way over and while I waited for the gates to be opened, that wasn't too pleasant. But after putting my stuff in the locker and getting into the water, the rain didn't really make a difference. Instead, I was just really tired, couldn't sustain a 20-stroke cadence at all, and throughout the swim it was usually 22. Arms felt sluggish, and there was no kick in my legs. This was my slowest swim in quite a while, kinda depressing actually. Here are the splits for the 3 500s and the last 400: 9:49, 10:12, 10:18, 8:03. Rode home in light rain and had a cup of coffee to warm up a bit. Later on, I found my other Akaso camera battery as well as the wrist start/stop band. Had a light lunch, and after that I went in the back yard to weed. Removed weeds from the nearer bed with wood bark and started on the bed with decomposed granite. It was drizzling while I was back there but not too heavily. Took a shower after that and read for a bit, including a short nap. Was feeling pretty good in early evening but got out of sorts with Ann about her concern of catching a cold from me, after I felt I was basically non-infectious. So it was a quiet evening, I didn't speak to her. I did watch a little TV after she went to bed.
