Run/Swim

Today, I got the opportunity to try out my new Garmin 910XT.

I didn't want to run today, but I wanted to see how it felt in comparison to the 305 on my wrist. Needless to say, it is much more comfortable and the strap works a lot better. I did a very light 1.25 mile on the treadmill.

Then I put it through the big test for the day. I hopped in the pool and started my swim. I swam 2000 yards. I don't know how to use the intervals and rest periods on the watch yet, but I need to figure out how to do that. I had to start and stop the watch when I took my rest breaks. I ended up with a 200 yard warmup, 600 yard straight swim, 200 yard pull, 600 straight swim, 200 yard pull and 200 yard cooldown. I took 60 second breaks between each 200 yard set.

Friday Lift and Run

I got up before work on Friday and ran and lifted.

I got in a very light 2 mile run.

Then I lifted and did pushups. I did squats @ 160 lbs, bench press @ 105 lbs, barbell row @ 125 lbs. I started Week 4, Day 1, Level 1 of the hundred push ups challenge. My sets were 12, 14, 11, 10 and 16. The last set was insanely hard and I didn't have anything left after that.

Pullups and Recovery

Today was a recovery day for the most part.

Legs tired and I am still fairly tired overall. I still managed to get in 3 sets of 5 pull ups on the first try today. Moving from 4 sets of 4 turned out pretty well.

Tomorrow, I am going to jog a slow 3 mile run, lift and do pushups. I may consider a bike ride on Saturday or take another day off in preparation for the 5k and 10k Ground Hog Runs I am doing on Sunday.
