Run!

Just 40 as 1:1, really nice (beautiful afternoon), though there is more fatigue from the swim than there should be - that will diminish once I really build back up my swim base. This might be the first two-workout day since I got back to NY at the beginning of the month - hopefully more TK....

Busy week!

Have done my daily exercise but not, I guess, had the wherewithal to log it!

Monday: 30 as 1:1, at the end of the day - I was so tired after teaching (and our first PPC meeting in the morning - it is fatiguing) that I huddled in bed, but did drag myself out as dusk approached, and was very glad of it.

Tuesday: just a short swim, about 700 I think - a third person came in the lane and I didn't have the tolerance to stay!

Wednesday: beautiful 1hr as 1:1, I'd finally had an adequate night of sleep and the weather was less humid (beautiful again today).

Thursday: quiet day, LOVELY swim, will run later.

1500:

500 warmup as 5 x 100 swim, kick on back, pull, RaLaCuBa, swim
500 as 4 x 125 as 25 back, 100 free
2 x 200 back as 50 kick, 50 double-arm, 50 pull, 50 full stroke
100 easy swim down

Sunday run

1hr as 1:1. Need to get myself in the shower and get on with things! Couple cat-related errands and must retrieve tomorrow's reading from my office and do it.

Saturday run

Stayed out way too late last night, slept latish and didn't get out the door expeditiously, had to take Jose to the vet at midday and then ended up leaving my run till the last possible moment - it is grotesquely humid outside, but my foot feels much better and it sure was good to be out there. 1hr as 1:1.

Catch-up!

Yes, this was an insanely busy week, I seem not to have logged here since Saturday! (Main log is a Google spreadsheet for my run coach, secondary log is at my Facebook PT accountability group, this one comes third.)

Sunday: 40 as 1:1
Monday: 30 as 1:1
Tuesday: rare zero, should have had a swim but I was in the THICK of finishing my book manuscript, and I did indeed send it out by early evening, so that's all good!
Wednesday: 1hr as 1:1, foot sore, have put clomper back on for everyday wear and have doc appointment for Tuesday morning
Thursday: 1hr as 1:1, foot perhaps slightly less sore (v humid both these 2 days, let it be fall now please!

Today: great swim! (I am finally having a much-needed peaceful day totally to myself.) 1500 yards: 500 warmup as 5 x 100 swim, kick on back, pull, RaLaCuBa, other drill (fists,, finger-drag); 500 as 5 x 100 with 25 back strong 75 free easy focusing on strong pull; 100 back alternating drill and swim, 100 fly as 75 drill, 25 full stroke (YES!), 100 IM, 200 kick with board. Getting back into it for real!

Saturday run

1hr as 1:1, happy to be out there for a bit longer again! Foot unfortunately rather achy - have been standing on it WAY too much over the last three days, it was unavoidable, but I will have to think about how to limit that more rigidly....

Friday swim!

Just 1200 yards, VERY NICE. Gonna keep 'em short till I've built a bit more swim fitness and also really got the habit solidified, going and swimming just for half an hour is pleasantly easy.

Wednesday-Thursday

Must have been too distracted yesterday to write a post!

Wed.: 30 as 1:1
Thurs.: 30 as 1:1

I've got an hour on Saturday, pretty excited about that!

Short swim

Got mired in administrative logistics at the gym, had to wait in a long line, but I did get in a short swim, maybe 800 yards. And a good tip from the instructor on my fly kick!

Monday - home!

Neither lungs/sinuses nor foot PARTICULARLY benefited from air travel, but it is very good to be home! 30 as 1:1 in a park where everyone seems to be flagrantly ignoring leash laws....

Usually I travel back from Brent's on Labor Day itself, but flying on Sunday is really better, this gives me today as a TRUE recovery day, tomorrow as life and work reentry and then I don't teach till later in the day on Wednesday. All good.

Sunday

30 as 1:1, another long sleep, another acknowledgement that lungs are still pretty yuck....

Saturday

Friday - nothing, still sick.
Saaturday - slept 11 hrs (my brother got out of the hospital yesterday finally, huge relief!), 30 as 1:1 which I hugely appreciated and hten an hour of ball release therapy yoga - sort of a "do your own thing" session which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Very good start to my last day in Cayman, and I really am feeling somewhat better this morning - still a lot of junk in lungs inevitably, but not a ton of NEW junk, which makes a big difference...

Thursday

30 as 1:1, very enjoyable. Lungs a little dodgy, toe a little sore, but happy to be out there! This August has not had as much exercise as I would have liked, but it is bliss compared to last August when my back was so painful.

Wednesday

Tuesday was a zero, still feeling pretty well (just STREAMING sinuses), but things dried up overnight and I had a nice little 30 as 1:1 when I got up this morning. Cleaner day....

Sick!

Nothing Sunday and nothing today, I am sick - it was coming on Saturday over the course of the day. Seems like sinus infection rather than full-on lung ailment, which bodes well for quicker recovery. Better this week than next, but - ugh...
