A bust

Swam Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Even ran one of those days. Was doing pretty good then Thursday completely crashed. The long work day killed me and now on Monday still recovering. Went to the doctor on Saturday and go antibiotics for a sinus infection. Proceeded to cough all Saturday night and was exhausted and had a horrible headache all day Sunday. Starting to feel better Monday but still going to take it easy. Hopefully Tuesday will go good!

12-7 thru 12-13

Wed.- Pilates. This was the start to my week of feeling off. Work led me to be late to class. Running everywhere. Class wasn't as hard as the week before. Probably won't like this class much in a few weeks. I think I ran at noon on the treadmill. It was a great run.

Thursday

Did the swim workout you gave me. Felt good. I like the short pool sometimes. A 50 meter pool is way longer than a 25 yard pool if you get what I mean.

Friday

Again hectic. Ran on the treadmill before Oula. Went to Oula but left a little early to get to the Masters Christmas party and was even late for that.

Sat. Have started to come down with another cold. Ran some Christmas errands and then skate skied up Bozeman Creek. Went to the bridge which is about 5 miles in. Tried to blow out the system on some of the steeper uphills. Fast coming down. Was fun. No so much of an adventure, but better than nothing.

Sun.

Master's swim. Swim was good, got in ~2800 in the practice. Got worked hard. I am the slow one in the lane and chase people around. Think it is better to have the people than swim in the next slower lane that doesn't have the fun people. If I get in their draft I can keep up. Not feeling good later though. Chilled and achy. Hung out with our Korean friends in town. Then went home and stayed there. Didn't get the ride in.

Too hectic of a week. Need to be better organized and not do social stuff every night. Also, I think work suffers. I like to do my job well.

11-29 thru 12-6

Tuesday
Swimming with Master's. They kicked my ass. Boy was I humbled. That hurt really bad.

Wed.-
Went on an easy 30 minute run at lunch. Felt good.
Went to pilates. My first class ever. It was pretty hard. There was never much of a break. I had the hardest part with the breathing. In yoga you breath in on the up and out on the down. With pilates it is opposite. Good for the core though. I like.
Massage- Good, got reprimaned for not stretching, but apparantly my body is feeling healthier than it ever has before. I guess this break is doing the body good.

Thursday
Master's swim- Was much better than Tuesday!! Lots of stroke work. My shoulders are tired. Didn't get in the weights. Can't remember why now, but I think it was a good excuse.

Friday
It was cold and dark out after work. Not motivated at all to go run on icy trails. Got talked into going to the gym for Oula. It was a blast. Lots of dancing. Ended up being over an hour of lots of movement. I think it would be fun to do a Jazzercise revival as an event. Everybody has to come in little leotards with leg warmers and belts. Funny!

Sat.
Megan and I decided to try out Hyalite on our touring skis. There was a lot of snow up there. We had a great time touring around. We were probably out for 3-4 hours.
Legs tired after skiing. Also, had to use my arms a lot. Arms tired too.

Sunday
Master's- Cut it short. Met up with the fam to get a Christmas tree. Skipped on the gym this day too. Had a good time tromping around in the woods with my Dad though. He is really really good at finding the perfect tree.

Monday- Long work day made me miss the MSU pool. Am going to Master's instead. Maybe balance out being a slacker yesterday.
