Please Pass the Motrin

Wow...I just got home from the gym and I probably worked out harder than I have in a long while. Just to give you the rundown, here is what I did for the day: 3:15PM is the start of high school swim practice. It finishes at 5:15PM and I'm back to the house to get my shorts, etc. My next destination is the local YMCA. I started a new program today called P90X. MY GOD, I am going to be sore. I did back and biceps and then backed it up with abs. I can't remember the last time the muscles in the middle of my back actually felt used. My arms and back feel so heavy. It's almost like they're made out of dough. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be exceedingly on Wednesday. I'm kind of glad the kids have a swim meet tomorrow. I can rest up a little.

Hooray For Me! I Can Out Swim My Middle-School Self!

I hold an opinion many I come into contact with don't agree with. I think my swimming performance eats a fat one. SURE, I went to a meet today and was bestowed with four firsts and a second. SURE, I'm faster than most people are. However, I am just barely faster than I was in middle-school. I think I suck. It is probably a little hyperbole, much like how I think I have too much body fat, yet the veins in my legs are visible. There is no question swimming with the local HS team has made me faster. I just would like to be able to out swim a 13 year old kid that weighs under 100 lbs and is about 5'2" tall. Is that too much to ask for. I think what I really need is for someone to tell me how bad I suck. Telling myself over and over isn't all that effective anymore.

I really suck at running.

I ran a mile today just to see if I still could. I have been taking it easy on the legs for the last few weeks. I made it and my lower left leg is still weak when it comes to stabilizing.

Note to self: Don't wear old shorts when you run. Things sometimes swing wildly and before you know it you're running with your dong out.
