Saturday morning I awoke feeling like I was hit by a truck. My upper body ached, like when you get the flu. I hope this is just a 24 hour bug. I was going to run with Don, but didn’t feel like running. It took an hour of stretching just to feel alive. After another hour of stretching and situps/pushups I felt good enough to leave the house.
I went to the Stillwater Library to pick up New Moon, part of the Twilight series. My wife and I watched the first movie last week and enjoyed it so much we are reading the books. I found Freestyle: Made Easy, a DVD by Terry Laughlin the Total Immersion guy. I HIGHLY recommend this for someone wanting to learn better swim technique.
I left the library and slipped on some ice, tweaking my left knee. It was hard to put weight on it and I had a hard time bending it to get into the car. Summary: I ache, my left knee hurts (originally strained Thursday night swimming breaststroke), the top of my right foot hurts from plank pose, and the top of my left foot hurts.
I went to the gym anyway. It was hard to grind out a workout, but I did.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI have read the entire Twilight series and loved it!! I saw the first movie and will most likely rent New Moon when it comes out!! My daughter started reading the series and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about:) I finished all of the books before she did. Sorry about the slipping on the ice..take care of that knee:) Good luck on your upcoming workouts!! I hope that you have an excellent week Mark!!
Well, Mark, I hope it cheers you up that you won the 50/50 book over at my blog! Yeah! Email me your address at bethkoetting at yahoo dot com and I will mail it to you ASAP! I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well and that you fell down on top of it. I'm not feeling so good myself and thought I would try to swim tomorrow and see how that goes. Congrats on your book win!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog (although it might have been awhle ago, I don't think I've thanked you yet). You are pretty hardcore for swimming, something I'd like to do get a little faster at. I'm stuck in the middle of the pack for triathlons.
