Ida Day

I started the week right with three workouts Monday. It was Ida Day and to celebrate, I tried to sleep in but CC would not let me. What's up with that? She got to where she tried to get me out of bed starting around 6:30 every morning. Geez Louise.

So I could not sleep in. Oh, I didn't mention that face-to-face classes were cancelled because of the hurricane. That meant I posted some assignments in Canvas and then went to the pool. I swam 

  2,000 36:57
  brick kick
  400 medium paddles 6:29
  2 X 400 @ 8:00
    1 - 6:28
    2 - 6:32
  200 back 4:42
  400 small paddles 7:11
  total: 3,800 yards = 3,473 meters.

Later in the afternoon, I went out in the hurricane for a run. I did 6.54 miles. It was glorious, almost as enjoyable as swimming in the rain. Almost, but nothing tops doing laps in a downpour. 

At the gym, it was push day. On the bench, I pressed

  12 X 45
  8 X 67
  3 X 100
  2 X 122
  1 X 144
  1 X 155
  2 X 155
  3 X 155
  4 X 155
  4 X 155 (missed on the 5th)
  2 X 150
  6 X 140
  7 X 135

I did seated dips for 

  32 X 80
  23 X 105
  22 X 115

Also I did 18 sets of lateral raises and a few more small things.

So Ida Day was a good one. Besides all of that, I got a new tire on my truck. I needed one more day. B u u u u t, I  thought you said that teaching online was hard. Teaching a single class period online when you have already met face-to-face is not difficult. Doing the whole class online is. I did my work Sunday night and Monday morning I only had to publish my assignments so it was like having a day off. Thank you, Jesus. 

Tuesday, however, was a different story. We were back in the classroom and I teach until 2:45 and then keep office hours. I only swam and struggled through that. In the big pool, I did

  1,300 26:36
  6 X 50
  then just a bunch of filler stuff for a total of
  3,400

Maybe today I can crank it back up. Praise the Lord.
