Dive in

By Kim • Jul 16th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training Log

No Diving

I’m breakin the law.  Okay maybe that’s a little dramatic.  I went to fit club after work, and I had not been in the pool in a week. So when I got to the pool, and saw there was no one else there… I had to dive in. It was like being in a swim meet again.  Yes I saw the signs.  But that is for people who don’t know what they’re doing.  I started my long swim.  I did a little over a mile.  I could tell I had missed a few swim workouts.  Towards the end of the mile my stroke was getting sloppy.  After the swim I headed to the track.  I was dreading the work out due to the heat, and I had no clue what Katie had planned.  I was glad to hear we were doing a short ladder.  600,400,200,200,400,600.   I made through one and a half ladders.  Despite the heat I felt like I was running really strong.  I finished the night with a set of sit ups.  In the comfort of my air conditioned house, of course.

  1. OK - I understand the diving in thing!!! Nothing like it to start a workout; But, what is up with the sit ups! I love sit ups - but only when someone else makes me do them (like at bootcamp a la fitclub).

  2. I am so mad I missed the track. I got stopped by a train that was neverending. As I was waiting I plotted how I could blow the train up without hurting anyone.
    I did not do sit ups but some squats while I cooked for the entire neighborhood (or so it seemed).

  3. Kelly, I have heard a lot of excuses to skip a workout… but a Train? Can’t you get a little more creative?

  4. Ya a train? You could have been late. More believable would be that you had “GI upset” . LOL
