I am determined to be the best swimmer I possibly can be. Better yet, I am determined to have swimming be my strongest leg of the Tri. My sister is swimming every day for the month of February, I so wish I could join in the fun. One of the many hurdles I am facing is that the pool here is only open for lap swim 2 nights a week. Both nights I have programs running for my job at the REC, so making it to the pool one night a week is hard enough. I think this week I am going to shoot for swimming both nights, in spirit of my sister who is finding the time to do more than her share of the swimming.
I am pretty sore today. The last time I swam my obliques were sore, but not today. Today my legs are tight. And by tight I mean absolutely killing me. I think it was more so refereeing basketball than the swimming to be honest. Who knew 2 hours of constant reffing would hurt so bad? Is this an age thing? I used to be able to ref for 8 hours on any given Saturday for a tournament, now look at me.
Today is Tuesday and my plan is to go to the Christian Family Centre every Tuesday to work out, put Bren in the day care there, use the WAVE machine, and all in all enjoy the afternoon. I can't today. I am too sore. I thought, no problem, I will just take a day off to recover and my world will right itself. Little did I know a giant 4 year old boy would be the one who lays into me for not working out today. I guess he really want to go to the day care and play the Wii. Silly me, what was I thinking? Even with his persuasion I have decided to take the day off from any activity. I have the afternoon off of work!! Lunch with boy, and then my attempt to tackle the mountain of laundry that never diminishes no matter how many loads I do.
This is what I am working out to this week, Black Eyes Peas, I Gotta Feeling. Check it out!
Tomorrow the plan is to hit The Fitness Connection after I am done working. Between 1:30 and 2 assuming all the stars align and I have no issues to tackle! Meet me there. We can race on the EFX.
I am so proud of you for swimming and tri training. I can't wait to do a tri with you this summer!
ReplyDeleteDon't you have at home that he could play? I mean, it's great that you accountability in the form a four year old, but honestly.
My triceps are really sore from swimming, but all i can think about is how good that bird will look ;)
Dominate that Triathlon!
ReplyDeleteSister, I too am working on my triceps. They are coming along, I check them everyday to see how tattoo worthy they are!
ReplyDeletePhil, We will both DOMINATE our Tri wearing out Cancer Kicker bracelets!
By all means vent to me, chances are it wasn't you I was thinking about when I wrote this. I had a few very specific situation in mind, and neither involved someone having a conversation with me. Some involved some people having conversations AT me, but NONE were represented by a conversation that I was an active participant. You know you can always vent me to me. I am sorry if I made you feel as though yuo could not.
