Swim

Last night I swam 102 laps. I only timed 88 laps. My time was 38:33 minutes. I did a little extra swimming to be in the pool longer. It felt great!

I am not sure what I am going to do tonight. I want to make dinner for Skyler so I would like to be home to do that. I think I might ride my trainer so that I can cook in between.

Swim

Wednesday night I swam at the Orangewood gym I swam 88 laps in 39:05 minutes. I felt that I swam fast. This is a 26.6 lap time. After that, I did the elliptical machine for 20 minutes.

Yesterday I was planning on riding my road bike. Then it looked like rain so I decided to use my trainer. Well, I haven't used my tri bike on the trainer yet and found that I didn't have the right skewer to use. So I ended up doing lunges and steps for 25 minutes and did my new shin streching for 30 minutes. I got some new stretches to do so hopefully my inflammation will start going down. I would like to do a 10k on Thanksgiving, but I don't think I will be able to. I would rather heal quicker and not do it.

Swim Again

I'm feeling great! I swam 98 laps in the Anaheim Hills pool, which means I swam 2450 meters, aka 1.53 miles. It swam it in 48:15 minutes. I must have been off the other day with my lap count because I swam 2 laps less and had a similar time. 

I am feeling pretty good about myself. I have been doing crunches every morning, like I have been for a long time but now I am starting to do crunches that affect my lower abs. I am definitely seeing progress. When I start running again, I think I will definitely see a difference. 

I have been doing the leg exercises my physcial therapist suggested but it still feels like my shin is being affected. I have a list of questions for her on Thursday.

Memories

Thursday and Friday's training, click here.

Today I went to the gym to swim. I swam 80 laps in 34:15 minutes. Afterwards I did a little weight lifting and lunges. Since I did some extra work, I wore my running shoes. It was so weird to be wearing them! I miss them so much! I don't get to wear them because I have only been swimming and biking. I loved wearing them. It made me remember the great times I have had in my running shoes. I wish I could run! I made my appointment for physical therapy, so hopefully they can take care of my shin. Today my shin was hurting. Maybe it was because I walked around (went shopping) and did some lunges. I wish my shin would go back to normal. All I want to do is be able to run again. I miss just putting on my shoes and going for a run. No preparation, no expensive equipment, just me and my shoes. Please heal fast! Pray for me!
