Today, Mike called me at 9:00 am to see what was going on today. I think he sometimes forgets that people don't wake up early on Saturdays. Oh well, Since, I was up I decided to take a 30 minute walk just to wake myself up and get my day started. It was a simple walk, so nothing exciting to report.
Later on in the day. Mike called and we decided to hit the rec center again for some more swimming. We get to the rec and jump in the pool. We decide to swim for 40 minutes. I start doing laps with the breaststroke/backstroke routine. After 20 minutes it was all breaststroke, until my shoulders start to fatigue and I loss my rhythm. After another 20 minutes pass, Mike asks how many laps I have done. I believe I was at 9 or 10 at this time. So, Mike decided I was going to hit 16 laps(.5 miles). Man, I just wanted to punch him. I was tired, the 40 mins had come and gone. Now, I just wanted to leave, but I mustered up some more energy and finished out my 16 laps. Mike was stoked about the half mile I just completed. He was kinda disappointed when I was not as excited. I don't know why I am not excited, I should be. It is a pretty big accomplishment for me to swim that long and that far. I guess I am a little like Eeyore. I am not gloomy or anything, but I just don't get excited about a lot of stuff. I guess sometimes I am to hard on myself. After, we finished our swim we hit the weights and burned through a few chest exercises. Now, my chest, arms and shoulders are shot. Good Day!
On January 1st, Mike, his wife, Me and My wife will participate in the Resolution Run 2011 5K. If anyone would like to join in the New Year fun, please come out and join us.
