10.28.2011 Finally Friday!

Run at lunch, 6 mi, maybe some of it fast? 

285# squats, rows, and KRO at the gym tonight.

Good Morning all...

Getting ready to head to Saga Bay Lake for an OWS w/wet-suit....!!!

Have a great Weekend...!!!

Wow, this thread didn't start until late today. Ingleshteechur must be away!

Core this morning and nothing else other than stuffing in the carbs. Can't believe it's going to snow the day before Sunday's marathon.

I have zero focus trying to get work done.

3400 yard swim

8 more days until IMFL

30 min swim. All drills from Sheila Taormina. (yes, even a self-confessed fishie has lots to learn ... especially from an Olympic champ swimmer and world champ triathlete ... )

10 min yoga.

Tonight will be a light run in prep for tomorrow's long run.

I'm a little tired from the 25 mile bike ride in the FREEZING cold last night

1 click swim this morning.  Will do an hour on the treadmill this afternoon.

My job gets in the way of my training, too. It's so annoying. Damn the need for creature comforts!

Rest day from running today. I am hoping to escape the prison of work early today to get in a 20 or so mile bike ride. It's 65 and sunny out there. Just beautiful.

She's in a van with a bunch of cross country guys. Better she than I.

My easy day..... 1700m of swimming with high school team. There was so much going on that by the last 15 minutes of practice we were down to about six of the most dedicated kids, so I jumped in and did as much as I could of the workout I'd made for until 5:00.  Later joined by a visiting coach from another school (we're hosting a sports tournament) training for an OWS in Thailand; amazingly the lifeguard did not chase us out a 5 on the dot but went to play soccer outside--must help to be a guy.

For those who don't follow that saga--I'm the bane of the guard's existence because has to be there till five if someone's in the pool, and the most consistent someone is me; he'd rather go earn more $$ moonlighting elsewhere. Due to team practices, I can't get in until 4 or 4:15, so I go all the way to 5:00. I've had toy planes landed in the pool, lights turned out on me, doors slammed just missing my butt, complaint to my boss when I left at 5:02 etc. etc. Understand his point of view but it's his JOB to stay till five and do it professionally, and the school's job to compensate him appropriately.

Nice run, dude.
