Week 3 - Day 4 - Already? Swim, Jog, Chalean

Chalean in the morning.  Cardio day.  I drank my muscle milk (1 scoop) before but my legs were still tired.  I think from the bike, it does sort of build up over a few days.  Chalean just has so much squatting, my legs are feeling it.  Then it was time to work.  A fine stressful day, so I was ready to work out again after work.  We went to the gym to swim and run.  The swim was like 400 yards.  Again pretty easy, even trying to push the 4x50's.  We go to LA Fitness and if your goal is a gym with a pool, you should skip this one.  That lack just about everything a swimmer would want except water.  They don't have a single clock with a second hand.  How much would it cost for an actual pool timer?  They don't have backstoke lane lines so you know when you are close to the wall.  My last complaint is not swim suit dryer.  Why bother with the pool.  The YMCA near is us is much better, but yes, it cost more, but at this point maybe I would consider going back.
Then we went to jog for 20 mins.  It had more jog and less walk this time.  4min jog and 1 min walk.  We jog at 6mph on our toes and walk at 4mph.  Not blazing a trail, but it keeps the heart rate low.  Its so hard to think that is actually a good thing.  Training has always been more of it and push harder, feel sore, half dead and try to recover.  This is not that.
