Balance

Recovery went well, probably as well as can be expected, so we won't talk about that anymore. Back to the pool today. I went out for a short ride on Friday last week, nothing worth noting. Not much worth noting in the pool today either. Was joined by a bunch of older women doing some sort of a water fitness class. It was kind of humorous watching them bounce around the pool, chatting and listening to disco music. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they're out and being active, but it was amusing none the less.

As I floated back and forth for an hour I got to thinking about balance. Swimming has to be the most boring of the three triathlon endeavors, nothing to look at, not going anywhere, no real distractions, all your mind can do is wander. So today it was stuck on balance. These swim drills I've started are all about balance in the water, so I guess that is where it started.

I actually think about balance on a fairly regular basis, but I'll be the first to admit I'm terrible at it. Inevitably, I usually focus on a single thing at time, neglect others, then rotate. Not the best scenario, but it is what it is.

Still working on improving the diet in general, today was a good example of a refined diet mixed with balance. Breakfast was eggs, toast, and milk. I don't really eat lunch, just graze as I'm hungry throughout the day, but today I ate a banana, an orange, a thing of yogurt, and some leftover pasta from this weekend. I balanced that out with mountain dew, a snickers, a baby ruth, a kit kat, and a twix. It's all about balance.
