Swim

  • 01m 47s /100 yards

Practice this morning with the crew- KT, Pete, Whizzzzzzzzz. Nancy, Karen was a huge help as she had an extra set of goggles for me.

It looks like I need to get some fins for my lane....

I have been in an absolutely crappy mood lately.  Pressure at work as we are preparing for another round of RIF.  More workload less people. Bills, 2.5 year old daughter who likes to put stuff up her nose.  She put a sticker up her nose yesterday.  We are hoping to find it today or we are heading up to the doctors.  This is actually worrying me the most.  Wife is working late for closeout this week.  I cannot wait for tomorrow.  Addy is going to Grandmas, we are catching up on the House work (A clean house is relaxing for me, must be my OCD)  A workout in the morning inside or outside I do ot care.

Well I guess that is it...

Strength
  • 20m

Use this day to also get additional 'Core Strength' exercises in for a total of 2-4 sessions per week. See Core and Strength Guidelines for more information.

Kenyan Running - lean forward, roll off your big toes, keep hand above your waist, look about 6 feet in front of you with your eyes, drive your elbows back and never cross your midline with your hands. T-Pace = swim test time / the number of 100 you swam. If you swam 20:00 for 1,000 yards, then your T-Pace would equal 20:00/10 for a T-Pace of 2:00 per 100.

9:19  Schwimmy this morning.  I am tired. 

I am working on pacing.  I know 1:20 hundreds will be way too fast.  The pool has me in my sprinter mentality.  I will work this out when I get into the lake and start swimming without walls and completing the distance.  I would like to complete 2.4 miles @ about 1 hour and be able to finish the race. 

Plans for later today 30 minute run and Pilates in the evening.  Maybe try to talk the wife into working the pilates tonight also.  I loved it yesterday, No lower back pain today.

Usual suspects at the swim this morning.  I will see them all on Friday.

Get back on track. This felt awesome for my sore lower back. This and Yoga will be added into the routine. I need the flexibility and ab strngth to get rid of the lower back pains that i have had every morning this week. I felt liek a new man after finishing Pilates this morning. Time to get back into gear.

Plans for the day include an 1.15 run and @3200 yds swim.  I am actually looking forward to getting back to the plan.

 I need to talk to KT about a weekly schedule and try to train with her during the week.  I know Tues and Friday are swim days.  Saturday long ride.  I was thinking of joining Road Runners to get a structured coached run during the week.  I think I need a little structuire for a little while to make sure I complete my workouts.
