| Did 1:15 of endurance freestyle swimming. I did back to back days just to build fitness and endurance like running does. I go see PT Dr. Coker tomorrow and find out what the next step is for my leg. |

| Did 35 minutes on the Stationery bike with variable resistence. I woke up again with another nightmare. Seeing photos of the accident I don't think was a good idea. It just brought back everything. I've done so many situps that I have more muscle there than ever.

| Another 1:02 lap swimming day. I was trying to focus on technique. Watched my oldest daughter Dallyce run a Half Marathon in 1:49:23 and my youngest daughter grace run a 5k in 33:00 minutes for Girls on the Run. Very proud of both. Did a lot of crying because I couldn't run but I did do the chip report at the HM finish line. 4 days of swimming and I'm getting pretty good.

| Did 1:16:39 of lap swimming today. Very good swim and I wasn't too tired. I've been trying to practice my form to get better motion and speed like you would running. My brother and his wife is coming over tonight and watch the Pittsburgh Steelers game. He's a Steeler's fan. It also happens to be my wife's birthday. It should be a good dinner and fun. My best friend my wife said she would run with me the first time I'm able to do so as well as my daughter. What a sweetheart to do so.

45 minutes on the stationary bike. I left my sweats, hoodie, gloves and stocking hat on so I could sweat to death. This made me feel like the hill interval workout did some good. I did sweat pretty good. The femur is healing good. Still a very slow process. The knee is sore tonight probably from the hill resistance workout on the bike. Still have a long recovery road ahead.
My daughter receive a trophy from her High School for best XC runner of the year. I was proud of her 1:49 Half Marathon last Saturday and that was conservative. She's talking about a Marathon now. I wished I started at age 14.

| Lap swim 54.29 minutes. The pool is 20 meters one way, and I can do about 45 minutes for a mile. I know it's definitely not more. I had to cut it short today to take my daughter to school. I'm going to have to start to get up earlier because as of December 1st, I will be taking her every day to school. Swimming for an hour is getting less boring. I try and mix-up fartleks, and see how long I can hold my breath underwater. They have a swim distance watch that I'm thinking about buying call the pool-mate pro. Look it up and tell me if you think its worth it?

50 minutes of stationery bike at the gym this morning. Wore my sweats, hoodie, and stocking cap to get a good sweat in while doing hill intervals. I had the bike up to resistance 18 for two minutes periodically on the set program. My femur/leg/knee whatever area you want to call it would get sore when reaching this interval. The bike really doesn't bother the leg when the resistance is lower than a 18. I've gone to the gym now 11 straight days, either biking or swimming. The doctor doesn't want me to do any lifting on the leg yet. Did a total of 9 miles on the bike.

| DId 1:23 of lap swimming this morning. Probably 2 miles but I don't care about the mileage. This is the longest I've ever done. I was a little fatigued at the end. I did some fast fartlek's from what I consider fartlek's in swimming. Emotionally, through the whole swim I was thinking/visualizing about running. When your used to going at a fast pace in a sport/exercise it's harder to have fun when you feel like your barely moving. I'm becoming a pretty decent swimmer. I won't say fast just decent.

| Did hill intervals today on the bike and worked up a good sweat with the Hoodie, stocking hat on. It's hard looking outside because it makes me want to run when I can look out from the second floor and see the sun come up. The workout was good and had some hard resistance at times. |

| Another lap swim day for 1:02. Did good and had plenty of energy. I still need to get a better technique when swimming, but I think I'm progressing and not doing too bad. |

Did 10.5 miles on the stationery bike at the gym. I accomplished this distance in 1:02. Did hill intervals up to resistance 18. Sweat with my hoodie, socking hat and long sleeve shirt on. Very good workout. I stood up putting some weight on my leg. This was not taking it easy workout. I worked hard. Probably harder than an hour swim. Weight is at 127. Eating a lot of Tofu, Fish, Crab, Eggs, and Oatmeal, Muscle Milk and vegetables not many carbs.

| 1:24 lap swim today probably 2 miles. My leg for the last three days has really been hurting bad. Almost where I can barely walk around. Maybe it's part of the healing process, who knows. It's been hurting where I've had to take pain killers. Plus a cold on top of that. |

Stationery Bike using the cross country program which is hard hill intervals all the way up to 18 resistance for 11 miles. Did it in 1:05 with the long sleeve Shirt, hoodie jacket and cap and sweats on. I sweat like un-thawing a TV dinner. I was worried about my leg bothering me, it hurt at times but not bad. Then I actually did 15 minutes on the Elliptical for the first time with any running motion for three months. I took it slow. This is my three month anniversary for the truck accident. How should I celebrate this joyous change that ripped my life apart. :-)
Well I'm humbled to be alive and will improve.
Had to go get another blood test in the horrible blizzard. I'm tired of all these blood tests. They closed the University so no work for me. I had the day-off anyway. I will take tomorrow off instead since the whole university had it off.

| 1:48 Lap Swim no stopping. Probably 3 miles of swimming. Mixing up fast and just endurance. Really wish I could have run outside today. The leg sore by the end of the day.
Situps and pushups later. Really starting to enjoy the swimming.

| 1:12 Lap Swim at the gym. Leg was sore today. I couldn't change a flat at the gym today on my truck that happen when I got there. I couldn't bend down to get under the truck to jack it up. Tom from TJ Transmission was able to help me out. Got two used tires with matching trend for over $100. This will get me buy until I buy 4 brand new ones hopefully by spring.
Situps and pushups later

Rest day from swimming and bike but not from sit-ups and push-ups. I did a ton of those today. My leg sore from other activities with my kids. No need to go into detail

| Did lap swimming today for 1:12. I also did a couple laps doing the breast stroke rather than doing the whole thing freestyle. I have my CBC blood check today.
Side-note I've been eating a lot of tofu in different recipes and really enjoying it.
