Project 42 – “Ronnie Lott” – Day 12

I swam a mile today…although it took me 45 minutes to do it…  Not blazing speed but it felt good.  Actually, I was just short of a mile.  I thought I remembered a mile swim being 1,650 yards but afterward, I did the math and it’s 1,760 yards.  I was one football field short.  Damn!  I took the stairs up to my office (4th floor) this morning to see how the calves were feeling and they didn’t really hurt.  This is very good because I really want to run more…  I am enjoying the runs (although painful) because they are not as boring as the swimming.  I forgot how much I love being outdoors at dawn.  It is a very beautiful time of day and I also get inspired when I see other people running in the morning…  Alarm at 5:15 is becoming more normal also and it is getting easier to get up every day knowing that I am doing the right thing…

I had 5 fried eggs wrapping in iceberg lettuce with a little salt & pepper and Tapatio hot sauce after my swim…  Happy Friday!!!
