AM - cross training -- 10 miles of indoor cycle trainer; 5000 meters of indoor rowing.  11 degrees (-3 degrees wind chill) outside this morning.  For once, I don't mind a morning of not being able to go out to run.  

PM - 1200 meters of swimming.  Getting better at it.

It's good that you are getting better at swimming. It's the scariest sport - you tire out, and you're dead!

Tell me about it. The amount of lactic acid that builds up so quickly when you are not doing it on a regular basis - could indeed drown you.

Bret, you're going to be an all-around beast by the time your foot heals up.

It's too bad they cancelled the American Gladiators reboot after only two seasons.
