naps

swim: 1 1/8 miles. 53 minutes. half front crawl, half breast stroke. this makes me sleepy.

you make me nervous

we had a great weekend. i watched with some fear as my defensive partner during the snow soccer would make end to end rushes. this same fella is the one that spent some time at the heart institute when we were home the last time. then i started to worry about myself.

today -
bench - 155x6
dips - 6,4,4
chins - 4reps x8
planky kind of things - 7.5", 20s, 20s, 15s

swimming - 1 mile. 800m front crawl. 800m breast stroke. 26minutes each. lots of breaks. total of 54 minutes

can you have two finishers?

squats: 205 x5, x5, x5. 5 minutes between sets.
press: 105 x4, x4, x4. this was tougher than i expected, and then i realized that it was not 95 like i had intended. yay.
chins: 6, 6, 6. 3 minutes between alternating sets of presses and chins.

finisher I
thrusters - 15 lbs db's, 20s work/10s rest * 4 = 2 minutes. 37 reps. lowest reps in a set was 8.

finishers II
farmer's walk on a flight of stairs - 2 45 lbs plates. 5 trips in 2 minutes. both of these were hard. but i can see adding more time to both. i might wait until i can hit 4 minutes before i make the db's heavier for the thrusters.

some time later
swimming: 40 laps (1000m) in 27:55. Shaved 8 minutes off :-) I just tried harder.

hitting the pool

The Talisman Centre has three pools (not counting the diving pool and the "learning" pool).

40 laps * 25m/lap = 1000m in 36 min. (54s/lap)

I think this is not good but man, I have not swum in a while. And laps in a much longer time. It's been longer since I swam laps than since I rode a bike (went mountain biking in the summer of '01 (ms. hedda was there!)

Went biking. Nothing hard core, just cruising about the city (getting to the disc golf course and to various patios). It was giddily fun.
