Missed my blogging yesterday afternoon. Normally on Tuesday, I try to get in 2 workouts. Usually a swim and then a short bike. Yesterday, I did the 2050m swim I had planned for Monday but my heart wasn't in it for another workout. (My mean swim coach has been cutting me some slack because of the situation with Rocky Dog.)
Today, I did my swim early and elected to do a 1600m swim consisting of 100m breast, 300m kick board, 100m breast, 1000m freestyle, and 100m breast. Today perhaps for the first time, it was obvious to me that I am getting faster. I finished the entire mile workout in less than an hour.
Then tonight, I got to go back to Yoga for the first time in a month. Three weeks ago, my instructor (the one who refers to me as that chubby guy from Yoga) was on vacation . Two weeks ago, Rocky Dog was sick and I stayed home with him. Last week was the July 4th holiday.
I've taken a fair amount of heat from my buddies for doing Yoga. I will tell you though that Yoga has been really good for me and I would recommend it. I believe it is improving my flexibility and strength in ways weight training can't.
Almost to the 3 week mark for the Tom Sawyer triathlon and it looks like I am going to be okay for the swim. Right now I am okay with all of the distances individually for the swim, bike and run. I just need to be sure I can do them all at once.
Cross your fingers for me! Have a great evening.
David
