Well, back home this AM before taking off again out of town. Since i really missed a workout Wednesday and Monday was the last real workout I really felt like shit in the water this AM, just really sloppy and still having issues breathing to the left side. I think just a few days out of the water when I'm so fresh at getting back into it effects me stroke/technique alot more than if I've been back at it for a year or two. But anyway, I'm off to S. Carolina this AM for an Alumni weekend. I still got up at 5:30 this AM and swam so here it is:
800 Swim
400 Kick
600 Pull
200 Drill
8 x 150 :25 rest

This is a blog I created in August 2008 to keep up with my progress back in the swimming world. Prior to the Summer of 2008 I haven't really done a swimming workout in 15 years when I was about 75 lbs. lighter! My main motivation is for the health benefits and having something to train towards....but really there are SO many other benefits.

Wednesday- September 10, 2008
Well since I'm on the road for business its not business as usual for working out. Unfortunately my alarm didn't go off yesterday morning so I didn't get in the gym to do weights and didn't have time when I got to Cleveland after travelling...plus they didn't even have any weights.
So today I got into the Hampton Inn's (Middleburg Heights, OH)indoor pool. The problem....its only about 10 yards long, if that. I could push off, take 2-3 strokes until I reach the other side. So I improvised.
Swam about 40 laps
10 x 1:00 holding onto the stair's pole (stationary) :45 moderate/:15 Hard/:15 rest
Swam about 20 more laps doing steamline, sculling, goofing off
Then jumped into their hot tub for about 15 minutes. Not much of a workout, but I feel better and I'm now relaxed!
