Monday 8/6/07 - Back in the Saddle Again

After an exercise-enduced weekend combined with Dr. Tom returning to Monday morning coaching, I decided to focus more on swimming again. With the past few weeks motivation somewhat lost, I realized I need a balance of swimming, running, P90X, eating healthy and fun to make me feel good all around. The kitchen remodelling has hampered my diet. The travelling has hampered my swimming and P90X. Its not that I am laying blame, because we all know that if you really want to get something done, you will find a way. Instead I am just stating what has caused my detour!

This week Drew returns and we move forward with almost finishing up our kitchen remodelling. The final cabinets will be installed, the countertops placed, appliances arrive and will be installed and then all that will be left is for us to do the backsplash with Drew's father in September. So YEA! That means for the most part I will have a kitchen after Saturday. This will, in return help me eat better since I can cook again and have countertops!!

SCM Workout This morning:

4 X 200s -
1 - last 50 is fly
2 - 2nd to last 50 is fly
3 - 3rd to last 50 is fly
4 - first 50 is fly

5 Rounds of 2 X 100s
R1 - on 1:30
R2 - on 1:25
R3 - on 1:20
R4 - on 1:15
R5 - on 1:10

400 pull easy
4 X 100s pull on 1:25

Then something after this

The main set was good. Beginning with R3, I took 30 seconds rest in between each round. I went 1:15s on R3. On R4 I went 1:12 and 1:14. On R5 I went 1:07 and then 1:12. It was good to force myself to work these, especially since the times weren't that great, but the effort was there. My pulling I went 1:12s.
