10/15 - 10/21

I have already posted about most of this week, one day at a time. Monday I swam 3,300 yards but did no running or lifting. Tuesday I swam 4,000 yards and ran on the treadmill but once more did no lifting. Wednesday Trevor and I were finally able to get back to the weights after we ran 1.48 miles. I also was able so swim 1,650 yards.

Thursday was another big day with a 1.66 run, a 2,300 yard swim, and a tough lifting session at Plate City. Friday, I was out of pocket most of the day but I did get in 2.17 miles of shuffling and 1.04 miles of walking.

Saturday was the bomb, a Beetsdown day. Trevor and I shuffled 2.17 miles then lifted at Plate City doing squats, and on the bench I pressed

That is ten sets of ten for 100 reps. I'll see next week how my body responds to that. I took some nutrition, watched some football, and napped. Then I went to Twin Rivers for a Beetsdown swim of

total: 3,500 yards.

For the week, I swam 13,484 meters, 
lifted weights 3 times,
walked .94 miles, and 
shuffled 8.96

That is the beginning of Beetsdown training. Randy can't hold up to that kind of grind. He wears down and starts crying to his mother that he wants a Popsicle. I just keep on working. I will smash him at the next Swim the Suck. Wait for it, and praise God while you do.
