Starting to come together

I'm starting to feel my technique come together.

Yesterday was a pool workout with mostly drills. Putting together everything into a full freestyle stroke, I was able to start to feel myself as I moved through the water. I'm starting to feel more like I'm gliding through rather than trying not to sink. If I can just relax enough to make my breathing easier, I would be set.

Today was a 4 mile run, still a slower pace, but close to my targeted heart rate for the workout. Right about mile 3.75, I enjoyed a great moment that comes along on a rare occasion. As I am coming up the hill to my apartment, my mind drifted just enough to realize that 6 months ago I could not have done the workout that I had just done. Those moments are rare but make every second of training worth it.
