Monday 1/14/08 - Too Tired To Think Of A Clever Title

Its been a long day today. It started with my usual Monday morning coaching. I wrote the workout the night before, but I feel I am running out of ideas and clever workouts. So in order to not come up short, my plan will be to write the following workout the week before. Hopefully this will give me time and not feel rushed into doing some boring set.

As for my workout, after work I had Legs and Back. Working the calves can really burn!! But I stuck through it, although occasionally I would see something that needed to be organized in the laundry room and do that real quick and take a break. HAHA. After the hour workout, I had my 16 minutes of Ab Ripper X. I love this workout, and each time I am more successful and doing more and doing them correctly!

Then it was off to the pool. I decided to once again only go for 60 minutes, but was able to get in 3100 meters! Thanks Jac for great workout that was long, tedious but good for me. Here it was:

500 w/u
8 X 50s pull on :50 (averaged :39s)
Man Set:
10 X 200s (#1 and #10 are IM, the rest free).
The IM were on 3:30, and the Free was on 3:20.
200 cool down
Total - 3100 meters

So I wasn't fast at all. But I did the workout, and didn't give up. I can still feel that I am completely out of shape, but I am focused to stop saying that as an excuse. My 200s free started off at 2:52 or 2:51, then I went a few at 2:50, and then finished the final three at 2:48. Ideally, my times should be under 2:40, so I'd really like to try this set again in a few months to make sure I am at that level.

Its now 9:47pm and I whould be in bed. I have to wake up at 4:45am for Kempo I believe. At least its only an hour. I am debating about swimmimng tomorrow night. What do you think?
