8/13 - 8/10

This was Hades Week at school, and I think I won't say anymore about that. Having real job hours makes playing difficult, and if I don't play I ain't happy. I did play some, but not as much as I wanted or needed. Monday, Trevor and I worked out at Plate City Gym. On the bench, I pressed

15 X 70
10 X 95
8 X 120
3 X 130
3 X 130 and then a strip down set of
  3 X 130
  3 X 125
  3 X 120
  3 X 115

Tuesday I went to the pool and swam

2 X 500
1,000 countdown (21:08)
6 X 50 small paddles
200 easy
total: 2,500 meters

I didn't do anything Wednesday, but Thursday I was back at Twin Rivers for

1,200
1,200 countdown
8 X 50 small paddles
300 easy
total: 3,100 meters

Nothing Friday. Saturday, however, Trevor and I hit Plate City. Since we had missed several days, we blasted the whole upper body as well as calves. Two hours and forty five minutes later, I hit the water for

1,400
1,400 countdown
4 X 100 small paddles
total: 3,200 meters

For the week, I only lifted weight twice and swam 8,800 meters. Now that registration week is over, I plan to be more consistent with the lifting as well as swimming. The shoulder is still far from 100%, but thank you God above that I can swim and enjoy it. Pray for me and rejoice with me that I am as well as I am. I want to start back running. Every time my knee feels well enough, I start limping again. Sigh. God is good anyway.
