Swimming Through Jello

Spent most of the weekend with my dad rectifying some water damage in my basement and replacing the old carpets with vinyl plank. Got some walls replaced and a very good start on the floors, but man, that's tiring! Went to the garage for a workout after dad left today.

Working out might be a bit spotty this weekend. Going to be redoing my basement floors (and fixing some spots in the drywall that have gotten wet with the ridiculous amount of rain this spring. Will try to get something quick in the garage Saturday and/or Sunday.

College group coach and I had to put all the lane ropes in ourselves, so only got about 45 minutes in the (really cold!) water today. Some good work though despite that.

Tomorrow is touch and go - if morning practice gets cancelled for storms, I'll try to swim with the college group at night. If morning practice is on and it's dry enough, I'll have an hour morning swim and a softball game at night.

Saturday, 6/8/2019 Pool Workout

Saturdays are indoors/yards. I guess the school has a set back on their HVAC for the summer and the exhaust in the pool is not good... whether that or just still being fairly weak, I just didn't have a second gear today. Got the work done though!

Had to coach Masters and supervise some of the National group kids today because everybody else was off at meets in various places, so I didn't get in a second swim this week like I wanted to. Hope to do Mon/Thu/Sat next week. Lifted in the garage instead. It's coming back, very very slowly.

Long weekend trip to Mammoth Cave and Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

Drove down Friday, hiked around the park a few miles. Brought my 53# kettlebell and did 3x(10 push jerk each arm + 15 RKBS + 10 pushups + 10 goblet squats)

Saturday went on a couple of cave tours and hikes. Total 10+ miles, 80 some flights of stairs equivalent.

Sunday drove to Red Rive Gorge - hiked 10+ miles, a couple of decently big climbs (apparently we totaled more climbing than when we tried to hike up Flattop Mountain in Colorado).

Monday drove back and didn't really do anything active, which was OK with me.

Main set did not go particularly well. Lungs just not there yet, I had a very hard time catching my breath. Survived though, that's all that matters at the moment.
