Man-maker Set

Life happens. It happened. We had some electrical issues at the house and I had to wait on the electrician to come by. Not only that, but the cats were out of food and Pee Wee needed to go to the vet. So that sort of threw a several monkey wrenches into my normal plans of a three-workout day. What got left off was the run.

Late in the afternoon, I went out to Plate City and just did bench presses. I normally also squat on Mondays, but m knee hurt when I gently moved one time and I decided to let it rest. I guess running four times last week was too much. On the bench, I pressed

15 X 45
8 X 65
8 X 95
7 X 115
4 X 135
3 X 145
2 X 150
1 X 155
1 X 160
1 X 165 with pins @ #9 spot
3 X 170 @ #10
6 X 140
12 X 120

Later I went to the pool and there was too much going on, so I went home and came back later. I have two training weeks before taper week and then the Senior Olympics. I have fallen off on quality swimming lately. So I swam

1,300 warm up, and then did my Man-maker set:
400 6:20 (1:34)
300 4:41 (1:33)
200 3:00 (1:30)
150 2:13 (1:28)
100 1:28
100 1:29
100 1:28
100 1:29
100 1:26
50 43
50 43
50 43
50 43
50 43
50 44
25 22
25 22 for a total of 1,900 yards all @1:34 or below. I cooled down with
600 easy with small paddles for a total of
3,800 yards = 3,473 meters.

Not a bad day. This Man-maker should put some speed back into my 500. Thank you, Lord, for a good day.
