Oops.
<br><br>
The biggest news I guess is that an injury a few weeks ago continues to wreak some havoc with my training. On May 8th I suffered a pretty severe injury to my left shoulder. Long story, but I was walking the dogs. Squirrel. Pulling. Concrete. Muscles pulled, bones, nerves, who knows. I couldn't do much for 4 days, and then I had to slowly get back to things.
<br><br>
I haven't been able to work out completely as before yet, but I can bike some and use the elliptical. Only a couple days ago I added some 5 pound weighted overhead presses. I can't run yet since I can't swing the left arm. And swimming - can't circle the left shoulder for freestyle, but I am slowly working in breast stroke though at 1/2 speed.
<br><br>
Before the injury I was contemplating a short break from weight workouts, but not this long of a break!A-Bombhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02677043009687980321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119267457314870428.post-32268150743519327832012-04-21T20:33:00.002-07:002012-04-21T20:33:56.088-07:00Peaman Events<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ran today.
<br><br>
Good warm up. Good running. Good cool down.
<br><br>
2.5 miles. Nice!
<br><br>
I have to try a transition soon. Be it the first - swim to bike, or the second - bike to run.A-Bombhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02677043009687980321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119267457314870428.post-35886167669236387822012-03-04T12:22:00.001-08:002012-03-05T20:39:04.421-08:00Running #1<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsaThEqY7HvkVOW987aH7MSEs8pVH0KdajxXiDE0XR8UdcofjRBaELBQS7kapNFHcSPDWS5CVSujJPvzwLCs2qQjMqBMqDs_zt-4wic2PevKI9tLO2CV8ZPWOWspzWgCSksvr5eRcxN50/s1600/IMG00268-20120304-1122-711744.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsaThEqY7HvkVOW987aH7MSEs8pVH0KdajxXiDE0XR8UdcofjRBaELBQS7kapNFHcSPDWS5CVSujJPvzwLCs2qQjMqBMqDs_zt-4wic2PevKI9tLO2CV8ZPWOWspzWgCSksvr5eRcxN50/s320/IMG00268-20120304-1122-711744.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716148406509134802" /></a></p>
Went running. That's notable since it was the first time running for running's sake in like 20 years for me! It went OK I guess.
<br><br>
I walked 400 to warm up, then jogged a mile in 11:07. Walked another 400. Mile #2: jog the first 400, walked 2nd, jog 3rd, walked 200, and finished the last 200. 12:54. Walked 400 to cool down. 2.5 measured miles!
<br><br>
But times not important. Main thing was getting out and doing it.
<br><br>
Then went and swam 20 lengths.
<br><br>
So I have swam 62, 72, 82, 20. And put in 2.5 miles of running.A-Bombhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02677043009687980321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119267457314870428.post-60805707399723430812012-02-05T13:44:00.000-08:002012-02-06T19:29:51.087-08:00Swim Baseline?Today I went to 24 Hour Fitness to get kind of a baseline in the pool.
<br><br>
I know swimming 1.2 miles in the open water is much different than swimming some distance in a pool at a club, but some conclusions can sort of be drawn by swimming in a pool.
<br><br>
A mix of free and breast strokes got me to 62 lengths! I didn't take any long breaks. I think I did stop at the turn walls maybe 5 or 6 times for a moment each time. Of course in the ocean there are not any walls to hang on to - you can't take a break or get the added benefit of pushes off of the walls at turns.
<br><br>
I know there is some pool work to be done. But the swim of 1.2 miles should be OK.A-Bombhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02677043009687980321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119267457314870428.post-58104461051168347122012-01-14T21:20:00.000-08:002012-01-14T21:21:45.074-08:001st PostThis is my first post. And it's a biggie.<br />
<br />
I am announcing my goal to participate in the 70.3 in Hawaii in 2013.<br />
<br />
You might be thinking "big deal". But it is! I'm in good shape, yes, but I've never thought about doing something like this.<br />
<br />
The event is composed of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, and a 13.1 mile run. Eons ago I swam half a mile. Years ago I rode a 100 mile bike ride. I've never ran more than 8 miles. And that was 20 years ago. In fact, I have not run a distance of any meaning in 20 years.<br />
<br />
So I feel OK with the swim, OK too with the bike. But the run? Ugh!<br />
<br />
With the move, the new business, and stuff, this won't be easy to prepare. But this will be a journey...A-Bombhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02677043009687980321noreply@blogger.com0
