  • Indoor Workout Today

    Today is a nice snowy day. So an indoor 2 mile track walk( boring) and then a short swim.

  • First Swim in 3 Years… I Suck

    Well that sucked. First time back in pool for close to 3 years. That was embarrassing.

  • And another one complete

    It looks like travel is in my near future. I am never good about working out while traveling, most often I am exhausted. So, this may be it for a few days.

    Come on! Some of you Triathletes out there, let’s do a little swimming!

  • Facebook Post: 2020-01-20

    I am still cold from my lunchtime swim today. I don’t normally swim at the Lakeland Family YMCA, so how was I to know the pool heater has been busted for a few weeks now. I dove in and did my warm-up laps and began to look for the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. I am surprised the ship wasn’t in the frosty waters either.

    I rarely cut my workouts short, but that was ridiculous. I think it rivaled the pool temps of the Idlewood Swim Club when David Molnar and I were kids swimming in the AAU kids teams. BRrrrrrrrrr……

    Then…. to top matters off, I go into the locker room thinking a hot shower would be nice. Well, they have 3 shower stalls, 2 work, one sort of pisses water out. Some ancient dude was signing songs from the 50’s while hogging the good one. Then, as I went to get into the other working one some guy dives into it who appears to be afraid to change into his board shorts around other guys. Ok, so I get stuck with the non-working shower. And I am STILL cold.

    OK, you can all laugh now.
