Lap Swim: 550 m

Wednesday, 03 March 2010 | 11:54 am

My training for the LA Marathon continues and although I have not run for 2 weeks (rehabilitating my left knee), I have been keeping up my cardio with some lap swimming. So yesterday, I finally completed 2 out of 3 drills — 1 more drill than I am able to complete for the past 2 weeks LOL. This essentially means that I’m getting stronger and (I think) am getting back to the same level of fitness I was in prior to my Camp Pendleton Hard Corps marathon last year.

Thumb-to-Thigh: 10×25 with 15 seconds recovery in-between
Touch-and-Go: 10×25 / 15

This afternoon, I’m hoping to do all 3 drills and then later tonight run at least 3 miles in preparation for my 20 mile run this weekend. Eeek.

Gold stah!

I gave myself a gold star today.

WTH am I talking about? Well, remember in kindergarten when you’d be good, you’d get a gold star sticker from your teacher? LOL. Yesh, times haven’t changed and I give myself a gold star sticker to slap on my calendar whenever I complete a scheduled workout.

Lately, I’ve only been doing like, half of my scheduled workouts so I cut the sticker in half before slapping it on. However, today, I gave myself a whole gold star (wheeee!) for doing three (3) cardio midweek workouts in a row.

Check out my Daily Mile reports for additional details.

Supreme wOOtage.

p.s.,
The day’s not over. I’m going to do 30 minutes of resistance training (arms) and which will render me exhausted and will most likely pass-out around 8:30PM. lolz.
