Watched some videos on swimming today, and 3 "experts" each showed 3 different ways of forearm placement during the pull/push. Very confusing. Called Mimi for clarification, and I think I've got it now. Geez! I'm only doing it slightly different, but apparently engaging some different muscles, because I was getting tired faster.

Tonight, after work, a swim is planned, although we are supposed to get 200 feet of snow layered with several inches of ice.  The forecast is for armageddon.  Perfect.

Sport
  • Spinning Class
  • 1h 10m

Gave a spin class to Amy and Marc after work AT work. I did about 20 minutes waiting for them, then gave each about 25 minutes.

So...I have a 20 mile run on Sunday, but between now and then, it's possible several inches of snow, along with a helping of ice, may fall on my area of living.  Winter marathons are not an easy thing to train for this time of year while living in this part of these United States of America.  Next week begins taper O rama....

Ok...I finally broke down and ordered some new running shorts.  My Pearl Izumi's were getting loose (compression) and beginning to have a smell that would NOT go away, even after being washed.  YIKES!  2XU's, I hope you work well.

Made up for taking off yesterday.  Mary and I took kids to school, then off to the pool for a swim.  Drove over to our "other" gym for a spin class and then lifted.  Had a Mocha, home for a shower and change.  Finn had peed all over the kitchen floor! Grrrrr.  Loaded Finns butt into SUV and drove over to Bob Ronkers Running Spot in Cincy to pick up race bags for April's 5K.  Got kids from school, and over  to Erin's ortho appt.  Home. I'm grabbing a nap, then dinner, then to Finn's puppy training class at 7.  Tonight is LOST, so that will take up the remainder.  I'm so tired.

February 1

Have a swim on the agenda today after work.  May do a quick workout afterwards....time.  Taking Conor to karate after swimming. 
On a different note, we have begun leaving Finn out of his kennel and in the kitchen now when we are not at  home.  On his first attempt a couple of days ago, he made 2 pees.  Yesterday, I suggested we remove his water bowl while we are gone and try again.  No pees. YEA!  Today, he will have a few more hours to be by himself....we will see.

Was able to get off work a few hours early, which got me on the road earlier...and more sunlight.
Magical Run. Never really got tired and no real overwhelming amounts of pain. All good stuff. Never slowed down. I'm digging whatever this is.

Getting off work at 1 today. Going home to run 19 in this wonderful 30 degree weather....at least the sun is out.  Geez!
