taking it easy this week

I've been taking it relatively easy this week. I am trying a 2 week build then 1 week recovery plan.
I did go to both my masters sessions this week. I gotta say that I've been feeling very slow in the water. I'm not sure if it's a psychological thing or what, but I seem to lose steam faster than I have in the past. I was very discouraged last Tuesday after practice. I went out hard and couldn't keep pace for the duration of the set and go passed by everyone in the lane. I need to pace myself in the water better.
I'll have a chance to pratice the pacing tomorrow. I'm going to swim with T and go for a run directly after. I think we are going to do 1600m then a 5k.
Today is a half day because of Good Friday. I'm looking forward to our church service tonight. I like the somber meditative quality of the service at my church. It makes Easter Sunday that much better.
Going for a long bike ride this afternoon. Happy Easter weekend.
