Jan 30 workout

After not going to the gym this week I was a bit worried, but felt great. I guess the rest helped. My ab workout is coming together nicely, and I really like doing my entire weight workout at one time. The pool water was very warm today, and it made swimming hard, so I was surprised I did a 100 in 1:05, especially since I didn’t feel fast.

  1. You did 100 yds in the exact amount of time it takes me to do 50 yds. I need to figure out the whole swim set thing instead of just swimming laps. I'm guessing that's the key to getting faster? Right now, I swim every lap the same speed. You are an excellent swimmer!

  2. Hi Mark,
    I just noticed that Chad's blog was finally updated! Thanks for the heads up. So you live in Stillwater. I am running the Stillwater half in May. Are you running in either the half or the full?

    Wow, looks like you have a hard workout schedule. I need help with the core and abs and unfortunately, I am not a good swimmer:)
