11:30 AM - Rain, Rain, RAIN! Temperature is crazy hot for January. I think the bank said it was 52 degrees just before I got home. Had to run a bunch of errands, including printing, sealing and mailing my first post-grad application for a real job! Then went to fax some stuff to the college, called and e-mailed the college about job fair stuff. Went to the YMCA to swim before my mom had cub scouts this afternoon. It was the strongest I felt during swimming since I started. I only stopped once, at lap 22 because my mom was trying to talk to me so I stopped for 10 or so seconds. I feel my breathing and arms and torso are getting in swimming shape! Hopefully I don't start to grow a tail or fins! Hit the 1 mile in 41:07. Total Time: 46:52 Total Swimming Yards: 2000 yards (1.136 miles) 6:30 PM - After making the family dinner I decided to read a little of DK's 50/50. Well one thing let to another and decided to jog while I read on the treadmill. Ended up doing a half hour nice and relaxed. Read another 35 pages or so. Hip feels okay, but still a little tender. No long runs for a while I guess. Hopefully swimming will be a good xtraining activity though. 200 crunches. Total Time: 30:04 Total Distance: 3.11 miles Average Pace: 9:40 "We are all teachers and we are all students in this sport." - page 69
