Mike
Well, certainly not my longest swim, nor my hardest but arguably my best. Coasted a few laps and played with the kids. First exercise in nearly 2 weeks. It was nice to play in the water again!

Another fast hard swim. Main sets 100 variety then 150 fast - x10. Better job threading the needle with my body, so to speak. Continue to find benefits in reducing drag versus trying to add powe... read more

I just keep putting in 3K b/c I can't do the math anymore. It's about right. Did ridiculously tough main set of 600 descending 100s pace with 1 min rest then 3x100 on 1:20. I used the ... read more

Was swimming the best of all time now that my right shoulder inflammation has dropped significantly. Really helped my flexibility, reach and balance. Then came the hammer. Broken 200s at race pa... read more

Arrived late but hung in through some longer tough intervals. Surprisingly was breathing quite well and deep. Made a huge difference. Shoulder feels great, too. Taking some anti-inflammatory to ... read more

Fun Fridays are really never very fun. It just means pain. Plus, leaves me with a burning face for the next 3 hours. Swam pretty well.

Starting to feel pretty good again in water. New focus on kicking has left my core and hip flexors in a mess. Obviously, I had been still doing the "runner's kick" to a greater deg... read more

good Stingrays Masters 3000 yd 01:10 41:03 pace
This was fast and very tough. Lots of warmup with stroke and kick. Then 16x50, 12x50, 8x50 and 4x50 on the clock. Interval went up from 45/sec but speed changed - every 4th fast, then 3rd then 2... read more

Once we got going, this was constant and fast. I can't even recall the exact intervals seeing that I was pretty much swimming to make them.

Sounds like tough work Mike. Nice yardage.

Short but fast sets. Held 32 over 8 50's and 30 over 4. Pretty happy with that. Been suffering long slow dances with the foam roller on all things ITB and the corresponding inner-thigh tend... read more

Felt surprisingly good given that I hadn't been in the pool since Wed. Can't complain. Tough week ahead though.

Managed to tweak something in my upper back/neck area. Knotted up and I had to cut out early. Feels like a pinched nerve. With a lame ITB and now a kink in my neck, wondering what else there is ... read more

Pretty tough day. Never easy for me when 200+ in the repeats but hung in there.

blah Stingrays Masters 3000 yd 01:30 52:47 pace
Managed to swim through the calf pull, but wall push offs were a mess. Even flutter kicking was a bit uncomfortable. Right ITB is so tight if I swam in open water I'd probably swim in a circle.

That didn't go as planned. Tweaked my calf pretty bad during AM jaunt. Neglected my tightening ITB and it came back and bit me. Will likely be out of commission for a couple weeks running-w... read more
