Swam today

In the pool today and everything felt wrong. I need to refocus on tomorrows swim. Keep my head down. That is what i'll work on tomorrow.

3x50, 4x125, 3x75, 2x50

Fun Times

Today's workout started with a 20 min run out and a faster run back. Followed by a swim. I also got my recommitment papers. I will have to pay the difference from the money i raise to the minimum of $2700. I have until April 5th to raise around $2000. If you are going to donate, please do, i need you to donate NOW. The training and the event are a huge challenge and to not have to worry about the fund-raising would really help.
Thanks in advance for your support. Remember your donation is tax deductible.

Swimming and love'n it

I swam today at the Y. I focused on getting my head down and when i am going to breathe. I also worked on putting my arms in the water instead of may arms just going in the water and that really helped too. After my swim i went to the stationary bike and just pedaled. I was tired but it felt great to be inside on such a beautiful day.

Group Run

I ran with the group at Runner's Alley in Manchester. They do a short run and a longer run and i opted for the shorter run because i'm swimming tomorrow. If anyone is into running come on by at 6:00pm on Hanover street.

Great Workout

We had a killer swim workout on today. We did a bunch of 50m drills and then I did 4x75 and then we all did 4x50 with pool buoys so we were just using our arms no kicking. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. Then we cooled down with more 50m drills. After that we went for a run.

Added note. I fell asleep on the couch at 7:00 woke up and went to bed at 9:30 and woke up in the morning after 7... it was a good workout.

Missed it yesterday

I was planning on running yesterday but the rain and cold kept me inside. And just not wanting to run on the treadmill kept me at my desk. And a deadline kept me busy. BUT i got out today and it felt really good. My legs were still tired and sore from lifting on Wednesday but as i starting running they warmed up and felt great. I was planning on a sorter run because I have swim at 730 follow by a run at 830 so i didn't want to do to much. I did ran a little easier and walked tons less. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Did Squat Today.

I did squats today. I did some weight training this morning to strengthen my legs. It felt good until i went to step up a step and my hamstrings were so fatigued that my foot didn't come up. I guess it was a good work out. I'll post more weight training details in future posts.
