Guns 'n Booty

Was messin' around after lifting this morning (only 20' no big deal) and before swimming. I don't have much biceps, but man my triceps are comin' up.

I guess all those pushups I've been doing and all that swimming are working.

Oh, and I swam 4,000 yards this morning, and I swam pretty well! Big Mike noticed I've been working on my rotation and gave me some stroke tips. Coke in the swim bottle also helped :)

I'm pretty much running on fumes, but gotta run today, and then tomorrow is a 2-hour run and NO SWIMMING!!! I'm taking the day off from work and after I run I'm getting a 1.5 hour massage, which I really, really need. My arms and upper back were sore this morning (before lifting), but after some lifting and swimming they feel fine.

Another Blog

Started a new blog, Pool Stories, that is intended to be a community blog. I'd love to have lots of contributors (we can have up to 100) to submit posts about interesting or unusual happenings at your local pool. Why? Because as you know, from this post, if you swim, you spend a lot of time NOT SWIMMING. And face it, the time spent not swimming is WAY more interesting than the time spent actually swimming. In fact, for some triathletes, not swimming occupies the largest percentage of their training load!

So jump on over when you get a chance, and contact me if you want to join in on the fun!
