Training session: REST DAY (eat and be merry)

Cant say how relived i was today, being a rest day.
Last night was great, being alone to watch TV late with my family.
Read and catch up on things.
Most importantly, not needing to be shocked out of bed at 530am
Even though I slpt beautifully through the night, woke up at 7am, my body screams for more.
Today is not just about resting the body, it is also the mind... "no running day"


Training sessions on wed:

AM: Slight tempo
PM: Swim + run home

Was darn tired when I woke up. Lay in bed for a while thinking of what to do.
I crept out and decided on my "ex-fav" session. "3 loops on grass at Cosy bay".
It takes about 33 - 35mins fully running on grass, it burns ur legs with that extra strenght required.
Somemore, I liken grass tempo to be like "heart-rate" training, as the ground is soft, it makes u work harder.
Why my "ex-fav" session? It started out as a personal challenge, 1 loop, then 2 , then 3.
Suddenly i find myself fighting the timing, then comes the pressure...
I even avioded the session ...... The basic human mentality or it is just me?

Ran straight home and out in 20mins to catch a conference call at 8am in the office. madness?

Evening was a great swim. Started out by targeting 20laps. Turned into a 30laps plus a jog-walk home.
By the way, my swimming strokes are liken to "dragon fly" ...
I termed it . " maximum effort, minimum distance, high aerobic conditioning".....
About 40-45mins of swimming + 25mins jog home....
