Bought new swimming equipment yesterday. $84 on new goggles, and two swimming suits (? Geez, I know, crazy). It's amazing what a new pair of scratch free goggles does for you in the water. Especially as blind as I am. Everything still looked totally fuzzy and indescribable, but goodness, so much brighter.
AM workout = 800 warm up (200 free, 100 free kick, 100 fly kick, 200 back, 100 back kick, 100 breast kick), then 4 x 200 each stroke of 50 swim, kick, drill, swim - then Free ladder set of 50-100-150-100-50. For a nice pretty 2,050 yards.
Ran 5.5 miles yesterday. Beautiful snowy, bright sun run. Had some pain in my right knee so I switched things up a few times. Ran high knees backwards, ran side-stepping like a soccer player, etc. It actually worked...broke the monotony I guess.
Last week my wife was out of town on business. I was 'on' with the boys for everything required of two kids ages 9 and 7. Didn't get too many workouts in needless to say. Lifted weights in the basement a few times. Got a babysitter one night so I could hit the Y to lift. I don't mean to brag but I'm starting to look a little like Lou Ferrigno. I think I'm to the point where I may name my biceps - something modest, like "Lighting" and "Thunder" (as I saw in some movie once). Mine are really more along the lines of "Light" and "Drizzle" playing off the weather theme. But I'm working on it. My quads are going to be "Oak" and "Sequoia" before it's all over...I did squats tonight until I felt faint right after work at the YMCA. Bring it!
