1000 meters, and no sleep!

Hey!

Again, sorry for the lack of updating lately, but really nothing has happened unless you want to hear a blog about a dog!

Rexy is doing alright. She is really cute but not so much cuddly. She is teething apparently and likes to chew on everything from myself to the cage door on her kennel. She is either whining or chewing and that is about it. She just fell asleep now, so I got about 10 minutes until she wakes up to go for ANOTHER pee, either on the floor or outside, depending on how fast I move!

Needless to say, she has been a handful, especially in the mornings. I've been going to bed late and waking up early so I am pooped. I look forward to getting off work and heading home to try and relax for a bit befoe Leslie goes to bed and I am on dog duty. How long til she is done this phase????

On a training note, I did make it to the pool tonight to go swimming. Coach Greg didn't make it back from Montana in time to meet me so Darryl and I met up and went for a swim. The pool was so crowded and at one time there were about 8 people in our lane, 6 of them non-swimmers. Not cool. At least when I am the slowest one in the lane I get out of the way for others but not these, I actually ran into one of them who was walking in the middle of the lane!

The swim went pretty well. Instead of working on speed stuff, I did a nice long endurance swim to see how far I could go. I did about 600 m broken up into warm up stuff, then started the main set. My old record was 500 m and tonight I did the full 1000 m non-stop. That's right folks, 1km of swimming. That is 1/4 of an Ironman race. You triathletes are still crazy. I actually felt really well once I got in the groove, and felt like I could have done a lot more. I figured 1km was enough otherwise Iron Fist Greg might start to expect too much out of me next time!!!! :) For that comment, I will now be destroyed last week. Oh yeah, I also got my score down to 94 for golfing which is also a new personal best in the pool. All in all, things are going well.

As for weights, I plan to hit them soon. I find that I have a lot of other stuff on my mind and frankly just don't feel like being in the gym when I get off work. I think I just need a good kick in the pants!

Lastly, if I don't update before the weekend, I want to wish all my clients and members at the gym the best of luck in the Santa Shuffle 5km run we have this weekend at Eau Claire Market. It should be a good time and apparently the weather is supposed to get a little warmer!!

Back soon!
