Missoula weekend

Swim clinic- First, thanks for organizing that and motivating me to do something. Jen definitely told me what I already knew, but was better than anybody at trying to help me fix it. It was fun to see you too. I think the number one thing that Jen said that will help fix my problems is the bilateral breathing. Breathing every three is too difficult for me, so the 2/3 breathing will hopefully help. Nobody has ever suggested that and it seemed to work.  I am excited to get in the pool and do a workout breathing 2/3. I am going to order those paddles today too. I was thinking that I would try the bilateral breathing and using the paddles and then maybe in a month get Lawrence to film me again and see what has changed. Who knows a whole new list of issues will probably pop up. I talked with Jen too about how much to actually think about my technique. She said for about 800 a workout. That way I can incorporate working on this with Masters as well as on my own.

Think I am getting sick. Scratchy throat and a little achy. Think I am going to skip Monday swim and try and kick this cold. Will update this on Tuesday morning. I might just be tired from the weekend. Socializing wears me out and then last night Erik made us salad since John, Lisa and I were all feeling fat . We then  drank a couple of beers and started playing a game we made up called Pass, Fail or Booze. Pretty funny. That lasted later than I would have liked so again maybe I am just tired today.

Schedule- Not much going on for work in the next week or so. So pretty open to lunch time swimming or running. I am staying home this weekend so no special plans there. Made plans to meet a friend and talk about what we as Park and Recreation Board Members want as a new/remodeled pool. Basically, I would like to go to Masters on Sunday morning and then get coffee and breakfast with him after. Maybe one Gfit workout for the week and I will try and meet the girls for the Tuesday workout.

Wednesday
Swim-Went to Masters after work. It was the only thing I could do to get the swim in with my work schedule this day. Started work around 7:30 had a 30 mouse takedown and finished at 6pm. Actually went really well for how many mice we had and the results turned out good too. Good week for work. Anyway, back to swim. Sort of combined your workout with Masters. Did your warmup and the first set of kicks. Then do 6x200 IM / free. The IM was kind of nice. I can get 50 fly in a lot of the time now.

Thursday- Met Lisa at Megans and did your workout with her. She was in a time crunch so we did gfit first. Afterwards I went on a run. It was dark out and I almost got run over my another runner. 45 or 50 minutes of a really good run. Weather was nice and legs felt good.

Friday- Got the swim and run in. I need about 45 minutes to get in a 1500. Maybe more like 35 so I was a few 100's short. Tried as hard as I could. The pool closed at 1 and I got in at 12:30.

Saturday- Kind of a bust. With the rain we just went back to John's moms and sat around for the afternoon. I did hike up a little past the M that morning before we met for swimming though.

Sunday- Kind of a bust as far as bike riding too. We did a little hike up behind John's Mom's house in the am and then went and climbed the steep way up Mt Sentinel in the afternoon. We ran down the switchbacks on the side where the trail pops out on the Kim Williams trail. It was a good workout. We hiked hard up and ran fast down.

Monday- Feel like I am getting sick. My throat is scratchy and I am kind of achy. Think I will go home early and try to get some rest.
