Tuesday November 15th

Double workout today.

Run -

Today was 3 miles. I woke up ready to go. New shoes, new attitude...LET'S ROCK AND ROLL BABY!.

The run wasn't too bad. The shin splints aren't as bad. I went out in 17:06 and came back in 16:35. Nothing too special, but I just wanted to run it smooth and not push anything. I am happy I did it!!

Swim -

Started not too motivated to swim. Drew starts his mission tomorrow and therefore will be in mission control center for 18 days straight. His shift is from 3PM to 12AM. So we won't see much of each other except for possible lunches and a little bit on the weekends.

Once I got in the water I noticed something that I had noticed a week earlier. The running I think has improved my swimming. My legs seem to be riding up higher on the water thus giving me a smoother faster 2 beat kick to match my arm speed. This hasn't happened since I returned to swimming. That extra motivation changed my negative into a positive attitude.

Workout : LCM

500 warmup - 500 meters
4 X 100s - breast kick - 400 meters
4 X 100s (IM order) kick down/swim back - 400 meters
main set

100 breast sprint
400 cruise
100 breast sprint

100 breast sprint - 1500 meters
200 cool down

Total - 3,000 meters

Good workout. My times for the 100 breasts were 1:37, 1:34 then 1:32. I'm not sure how pretty they were though. On the 2nd and 3rd ones I took the first 50 out smooth and really worked the back 50. I think a 1:32 isn't too bad for the end of the workout.

Great workout day for running and swimming
