Swim and weights.

20 Min Swim, Weights

Feeling fairly crappy this morning. Still sick and it's in my lungs creating a hacking cough. Swim was ok, nothing special. Weights were a pain in the ass because I felt compelled to hit the purell between every exercise so I wouldn't get others sick. Probably best to just stay home and do pushups.

Had to rest Thu and Fri with the cold. Still feel like crap but I was really enjoying the workouts so I headed to the gym when it opened at 8am. Swim felt good. Weights felt better.

Pretty much just like yesterday. The hardest part of this 5am thing is getting into bed early. I've been lucky the last couple nights but 8:30 comes mighty quickly.

Second workout back at it. One word: muscle soreness.

I'm honored that many of my friends and family ask me for advice as they start to get into a workout program. I always tell them that the second through seventh days are the hardest. Of course, I haven't had the, uh, pleasure of experiencing this effect for about six years now. Even though I've had down periods it's not like they were very long.

I could feel every single muscle in the pool this morning. I knew that if I stopped I'd not likely restart. So I pushed through 20 minutes nonstop. Not exactly a banner accomplishment but it's more than I did yesterday so I'll take it.

After that I did some weights. I struggle to get through what used to be my baseline morning weights workout. I keep thinking about running. Maybe I'll take a week or two with just swim and weights. Get the core somewhat stronger and ease into the aerobic thing. I'm not in any rush.

After the JoeSick Saga of Early 2010 (still going, btw) it's nice to be back to a little bit of the old high heart rate. Morning swim and weights session. Obviously any discussion of my performance is out of the question. But look in my other hand... what's that?... optimism! Yes, optimism! It really was nice actually doing something this morning. I'm hoping to start back into a daily routine. No goals at the moment. Just want to enjoy getting back into it. Fastest 100y I could muster today was 1:28. Form felt pretty good (fish back in water?) Muscles felt, gone gone.

A shorter run this morning... crunched for time a bit. 8 degrees warmer today made a big difference... 38 degrees.
