Met with Mel this morning at 6am for a swim at MCP. To make a long story short, that swim kicked my ass - I barely pulled out a 1700m swim in a one hour period of time. I suppose I should have expected being so bad - but it was still shocking. I'm going to need a lot more time in the pool to remedy this situation. As for how I'm doing now at the end of the day after work - I'm not too beat tired, so that's good. http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_29th_2007.html#comments Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:41:08 GMT http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_28th_2007.html Put in a good 5km run on the treadmill, with some pushups and sit ups to round it out. did 5km in a bit more than half an hour which was decent. I should try and set out to do a 15km run all at once to see how my body fares - I still haven't really hit a wall yet where I can't go on - there are times when I have to slow down a bit, but I haven't dropped out of a run because I have to yet. http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_28th_2007.html#comments Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:39:05 GMT http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_23_2007.html one hour of intense volleyball - beat Premature Rotation 3-0, which puts us in second place in the league. woot http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_23_2007.html#comments Fri, 25 Jan 2008 01:20:54 GMT http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_22_2007.html Once again spent the day preparing my mind for the mental task. And I ran on the treadmill almost 4km in 25 minutes, with a rounding out of pushups and situps - I feel it a bit in my abs. man, I have to start swimming. http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_22_2007.html#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:02:07 GMT http://greasy.com/bigbadjuan/jan_20_2007.html Ran for half an hour and walked for the entire afternoon lugging a heavy bag at the wedding show at the convention centre.
