Things are changing. Although I am exercising quite a bit more, I have also gained weight, about 8 pounds, in fact. I think it is the swimming. My chest seems to be bigger, my waist seems to be smaller although I do not look nearly as lean as when I was running all the time for marathon training. It feels a little strange.
The triathlon is 2 weeks from Saturday, so time is getting close. I am waiting to hear, but I may do my first open water swim in the Ohio this Saturday with my buddy / mentor Patrick.
Today was a very busy day at work. Luckily I only planned weight training with Cody. Today, we did dead lifts, Romanian dead lifts, lat pull downs, dips, bar bell bench press, and leg press. I may have forgotten some. I just know I was really tired when I was done and very sweaty.
Yesterday, was a 2 work out day. At lunch, I did a 1700m workout that included kick boarding and pull buoys. It took less than an hour which was awesome. I have no illusions of winning anything but it is really gratifying to see that I am getting faster.
My second workout was Yoga. My buddy Andrew and his buddy John joined me for the first time. They actually both did really well. They are definitely much more flexible than me but of course I am 30 years older than them. I'm still much more flexible than I was when I started.
Still a lot to figure out in the next 2 weeks.
That's about it for the day. Have a great evening!
David
