Tuesday November 1st

So I am writing about my run and will write about my swim later on. The run was a tad painful. I think the 4 miles from Sunday left my legs a little sore. I started off with my 2 mile run today and it was sore. But its always a little painful from the start. With that, I figured just get through these easy 2 miles. Now I have tried to figure out how far I should estimate that or what pace it is. With my Sunday run averaging 10:40, I figure that is safe to say to add 30 seconds to that first mile. I will have to give it more thought before I feel this is accurate though. With that I hit mile 1 at 10:40 and came back in 10:20. 2nd half I felt a little more warmed up but my legs were sore.

This week is butterfly week in the pool. Tonight is going to HURT!

Swimming was OK. The coach tonight decided to do a lot of kicking! OH joy! Here was the workout:

500 warmup = 500 meters
6 X 100s kick (alternate free/fly) = 600 meters
4 X 150s (50 fly kick on back/50 one arm fly/50 fly) = 600 meters
300 swim smooth = 300 meters
Total = 2000 meters

Boy my legs hurt. Running this much is makin them SORE! Today was a long day and non stop from 5:45 to 8:15. Therefore I decided to call it quits in the water once I hit 2000 meters. The rule is that once I hit 2000 meters, its considered an official workout. Therefore I did good.

Closing thoughts - I feel good. I feel the excess fat slowly turning to muscle. I had a big dinner so lets hope that didn't do anything bad.

Weight - 184

Goal weight by month end - Under 180.
