So now that my little Woe-Is-Me Pity party is over, now it’s time to have some real fun. I was so, in a funk that I didn’t even realize that it had been DAYS since I had really exercised. What’s up with that? Tuesday, I went trail running with one of my friends from church, [...]

Kicking is what I did in the pool today while swimming. Typically, in my freestyle swimming stroke I only kick right after I have taken a breath and for only 2 or 3 kicks. The problem that I run into, is that I have big muscular legs (soccer player legs) which is fine to do [...]

Today was just about perfect weather to go swimming. What a shame that the pump for the outdoor pool is still broken thus putting us indoors for today. I made a goal to swim 1200 meters on Tuesday and 800 or 1000 meters on Friday with going the full mile (1600 meters) once a month. [...]

What really sucked this morning was that I woke up this morning with a sore neck. It actually hurts to look forward, but [...]

Tomorrow I have to go to the doctor to get my cholesterol checked in the morning and then do some fancy-dancy computer ninja moves to get my computer up and running. So, I probably will have little time to blog and comment (sounds like a fencing move). So, I am forced to make another double [...]

Do you hate it when you are swimming and when you go to take a breath you suck up a bunch of water. You are sort of stuck with that water in the mouth during your stroke. Well, imagine being in the middle of a stroke (face in the water) and you see something that [...]

Not a whole lot to blog about swimming and all that stuff. The highlight of the swim today was that the pool configuration was lengthwise meaning 50m length. Ah who am I kidding… it was a nice day out today and the scenery was pretty good. I had made up in my mind that I [...]
