Saturday

I was pretty tired Saturday after Friday's big run. So I slept in and studied, and drank coffee, and lounged after I woke up. Eventually, I got up to go to the pool. I have signed up for the Mississippi Senior Olympics. This year they have opened it up to six events now so I registered for six: the 50, 100, 200, and 500 free, and the 50 and 100 back. I am not a good backstroker, but I thought it would make me train it harder and maybe I will improve. At the pool, I swam

300 6:00 (stopped to adjust goggles)

1,100 21:14

4 X 50

200 back 4:28

300 medium paddles 5:19

total: 2,100 yards = 1,919 meters.

After some rest and nutrition, I went to Plate City and worked the push and the legs a little. On the incline dumbbell bench press, I did

13 X 30

12 X 40

12 X 40

12 X 40

I also did some overhead dumbbell presses, thirteen sets of lateral raises, and on the squat

3 X 75

3 X 80

3 X 85

21 X 88

2 X 90

The set of 21 put a major hurt on me, but it was better than last week when I bent over to pick something up and felt like I was being electrocuted as my leg muscles locked up on spasms.

So it was a pretty good day. Thank you, Lord.
