Slow and Easy June 20, 2005
Posted by vollenda in : General , add a commentI had a slow & easy 800m this morning in the pool. All drills and it was pretty fun. And interesting. I bought “The Essential Swimmer” this weekend and it was a good read for me. I really tried to swim with a purpose today-4×100 drills and then 2×200 counting strokes. I really see an improvement when I concentrate on my stroke. The best laps were 4 & 5 strokes off my “normal” count. 40 min of weights after the swim and that went well too. I can really tell my upper body is getting stronger. Woo Hoo! 
I didn’t ride my bike to work again today. My knee is doing really well but it’s still not 100%. I decide to take one more day off the bike for good measure. So I took my mom’s car this morning and that worked out since I was able to get some weights in along with the swim. I hope to try a 2 mile run tomorrow and ride to work. My body feels rested because I took the last four days off. No exercise what-so-ever, nothing, nada, zilch. As a “reward” for sticking to my “4 Days Off” plan, I went to see Batman Begins yesterday. It was fun.
