Bouncing

If I hit the bottom of the cliff last week, I started bouncing this week. Monday, I did three workouts. They might have been weenie ones, but I did them. 

Tuesday, I upped the ante a little bit. Just a little. I went in to Twin Rivers early, a little after 8:00, to swim the big pool for the first time this year. But when I went outside, the pool was low, very low. I told Debbie and she was shocked. Anyway, it was too low for me to flip in the shallow end, so I came back after 10:00 and swam the little pool. I did

  1,850 36:56

  2 X 25 no breath

  50 back

  2 X 25 no breath

  50 back

  2 X 25 no breath

  50 back

  50 fast

  200 small paddles

  total: 2,400 yards

That was more than Monday, so that was a victory. I could feel my lats were a little sore from swimming the day before. Yeah, I am downgraded, but I am bouncing.

After lunch and rest, I went out for some roadwork. I shuffled 2.09 miles. After .7 my legs felt wobbly. Unbelievable. Remember how I started this year? I ran a marathon, a 50K on a trail, a half-marathon, and a 5K. Now an average walker could stroll past me like I am standing still. But I am still too stubborn to stop.

I mowed the front lawn, rested, and hydrated. Then I went to the new and improved City. It really is nice out there now. The added stall matts make it look a feel a lot better. I did a pull workout, hitting the chest-supported row, underhanded lat pulldowns, and reverse flys. Of course I did corator tuff stuff. I always do.

So there is another three. I should be more fit today than yesterday. I will find out. Pool Fools is coming up. Please consider making a donation.
