It really is more fun with a structured workout and friends to “play” with. I’m glad Mitch convinced Shelley that the pool is actually a good thing. Maybe she’ll believe us.

Just holding a lane waiting for M&S to show up to play. Concentration on long and smooth pulls, not on breathing.

morning swim!

I think I could have swam to the Y there’s so much rain here right now. Might also be the reason why the Y has been so packed lately. Just yardage today, no structured workout.

Stationary Bike

I chose the bike farthest away from CNN so I couldn’t get suckered into the Blue/Red debate. Rode for 30 w/ 1 minute intervals increasing the first 15 then decreasing. My new “5 Star” playlist is rockin!

class fills up quick

by 5:20 this morning all of the bikes were “accounted” for in the Y’s spin class. And when I left at 6:50 the parking lot was full. I’m not sure if it was people feeling guilty about their Halloween “pleasures” or people “prepping” for the upcoming Holidays.
As much as it makes me happy that people are out getting fit, or at least moving more, its sort of a pain when the things/places you enjoy doing/going are all full.
Such are the times.
Was a good sweat this morning!

Thanks for dragging my butt outta bed

Even with the “Extra hour” of sleep this morning, which I needed because I had forgotten to set my alarm, I still had to drag my butt outta bed. And since yesterday I was a no show, I couldn’t do that two days in a row. Ran surprisingly well considering the head cold I’ve got going on.
I still don’t like running that much, but it is slowly getting more entertaining. The thing that I do like about it is that if you do a Point A to Point B run, once you get to Point B, you’ve GOT to make it back to Point A and the only person you can rely on to get back to Point A is yourself.
Thanks M and S for getting me outta bed today! I appreciate it. Days that I run, or sweat first thing in the morning are always the best days.

its all about the glide…

Thanks D for this Glide workout!  I put Mitch and Shelley through the trenches with it!

400 yrd warm up, 100 meter total of no free

6 x 50 Kick w/ 15 sec rest after each 50

• 2×50 Front w/glide
• 2×50 left side
• 2×50 right side

6 x 50 pull w/ 15 sec rest after each 50

6 x 50 stroke w/ 15 sec rest after each 50

• 2×50 2 sec hesitation
• 2×50 finger drag
• 2×50 catch up

200 cool down. (I added an additional 50 just for fun).

The nice thing about this workout is that it truly is about the glide.  During my cool down I could really tell I was reaching and smooth.

A perfect way to start Halloween!

Next stop Cafe Ladro!  Trick or Treat
