captain's log, stardate, um, 3:
went for a reasonably hard hour-long run on fri. Then i went for a swim. Same basic swim as last time, but i actually did my 100m intervals on a 30sec interval (as opposed to just whenever i quit wheezing). Yesterday (sat.) i went for another swim--again, same swim; only this time i left on the 30 which punished me for swimming slow. So i was averaging probably a 20sec interval 'tween sets. If that don't get my buoyant butt a li'l mo' streamlined, then i don't know what will. i have only gossamer hope for squeezing an irongym session outta today; but hope is hope. Looking to be a busy coupl'a weeks at school. Maybe that'll buy me time to mend the IPs and lumbricals.
Actually broke out the Gnats yesterday, thinking about where to put them. Those things are schmall. i think i'm gonna put a couple of 'em on the wall proper for when i'm feeling particularly manly. i'm gonna set up a dyno to 'em. Moving off of 'em without feet is not an option, but i think i could stick a dyno for a second...like if my other hand is on a jug. Vamos a ver.
Tack-on what since nobody looked at the last post:
Sneaked into the irongym for a quickie today. Only striking thing 'bout it was that i took chalk in with me. Got the set of 4 at 295 on the box (str. leg deads); then put a couple o' fivers on and got 3 at 305 on the box for a PR.

Stellar! Never really heard of anyone maxing out on straight leg deads, but I would never judge you for it. The swim sounds good. For you. Not for me. Although I would love to be neutrally buoyant in some icy water right now, the thought of flailing around in it just sounds tiring. Cool deal though. Howz your run times looking?
Yeah...there's something inherently unappealing about going for a ME single on straight-legs. "Recruit or snap in two!" i do think i'm gonna max on reg'lar deads next week, if the planets are aligned correctly and the wind is blowing in the right direction. Run times are ...they're probably consistent with a fat old dude at 150bpms. i refuse to measure my speed for now. i might go get on a track and check if i start feeling frisky enough to consider a short race. Til' then, i'm trying to stay in it for the process. Swimming's different: there's nothing fun about swimming slow. There is great motivation to go faster than the chick in the lane next to me--namely, i have to justify the pubes jutting out the inguinal hem on the Speedo.
You started the Workout of Mass Destruction yet? --i forget what you call it...two-a-days...sounds just dreadful.
Right. Gotta make a powerpoint preso on the plague. i think it's to demonstrate my crazy powerpoint skills. Very important, those pp skills.
