Starting Right

By the grace of God, I got the week started right. I was in the water at 3:30 a..m. What?!?! Yeah, I rest a lot on Sunday so I can get there a little earlier on Mondays. I swam

brick kick
2,500 51:28
800 tt 13:27
400 medium paddles 7:43
700 back 15:44
400 medium paddles 7:49
600 25/25 free/back
350 small paddles
250 small paddles
brick kick
200 small paddles
total: 6,225 yards = 5,689 meters

Monday is my long day in Greenville. When I got home, I hit the road for a 2.62 mile shuffle. For the last two weeks, my running numbers and frequency have been down. So although I only did a little bit of running, at least I was out there getting the week going right.

After the shuffle, I went to Plate City Gym. There I benched

13 X 95
10 X 115
  8 X 135
  5 X 140
  5 X 140

I then did some overhead dumbbell presses: 20 X 20 and 6 X 30. This time, I really worked the triceps on the triceps push down. I think that is an important move both at a bench press assistant exercise and as a conditioner for swimming. The triceps are huge in freestyle. I did 

37 X 30
21 X 35
12 X 40

Now that is a good day right there; I don't care who you are. Thank you, Jesus, for good health, good energy, and a good gym.
