Couple O' Workouts

I suck at blogging!

Saturday was a 4km (+/-) swim at the CGC.It was actually my first swim in about 2 weeks. Great swim. I felt great the whole time.

Tuesday Night. Approximately 2500m swim at the Kiwanis. Another great swim with a timed 800m (14:44 not too quick) and some good speed work. Again, felt great the whole time. Swimming with Vinnie, Bighead, Julie and Corey is a major motivator even if I'm the slowest swimmer in the group. I held my own ok considering the company.

Haven't run since last Wednesday when I got a little groin tweak. It's still sore. I'm hoping to get out for an easy 30 minutes this evening with Jody to see how it feels. Edit: ran 30 minutes through the North End with Jody. Good run. Still a bit sore but manageable for now. I'd better take it easy for the time being. LJJ training and 100 Runs both start soon!

Today is the last day of the 100 push-up challenge! The only thing 100 about it is the percent chance that I will not get through 100 continuous push-ups! The most I've been able to do without stopping is 45, following a set of 42 and a 5 minute rest. Edit: Called it! I did somewhere around 40 and then switched to my knees for 10, back to my toes for a few more and knees to 64. Took a short break and went to failure, repeated that until I hit 100. It was rough. I plan to keep it up as part of my stretching and core routine.

Speaking of 100, I have signed up for a 100 runs in 100 days challenge with a pretty large group of Barbarians and CB Roadrunners. Why? Because it's there? Partly, but mostly because I would really like to improve my running and my endurance this year. I'm hoping this challenge will bring me to a new comfort level with it. Most people seem to be planning to start January 1st. I've never been much for New Year's Resolutions but I am very much motivated by a group so I most likely will do the same. Since I haven't been hung over on New Year's Day for years it should not be a problem!
