Quck Update

I slept in until 8:30 this morning since I was ridiculously tired. Bo was appreciative as well. Around 10:30, after cleaning and doing laundry, we headed to rec center for a swim. I did 4 x 500 of the touch and pull drill. One of the 500 sets with a pull bouy. It was kinda hard. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I seemed to get fatigued a lot faster than when just swimming my old, regular, bad form way. Gotta swim slower now to go faster later, though. ~Sigh~ Whatever it takes, though. Afterwards I worked with Bo on his kicking with the kickboard and floating on his stomach and back. We had fun!

We came home, and I did a 30 minute trainer ride that focused on high cadence. I actually did a little better this time than I have done in the past. Then I did arms with 8lb weights, step ups on my coffee table for legs, and abs.

Then Bo and I picked up Briar and ran into Game Stop and Wal-Mart checking for a new shipment of Nintendo Wii's. Briar went into Game Stop to ask and I saw them through the window shake their head no. I had already called Wal-Mart at lunch and they said no, but we had to go into there to buy a friend's birthday present anyway, so we walked through the electronics department just to check - AND THEY HAD 2!!! So I quickly grabbed the nearest worker and made the purchase! So, you don't have to ask what we've been doing tonight...

Hi Lana ... I tried to comment yesterday, but blogger was having a hissy fit and kept telling me that my ID was invalid .. so, I'll try again.

I found it remarkable that you were trying to fit in a toning a class on top of everything else. With your cross training for swimimg, biking, and running, which muscle are you trying to "tone". I can't imagine that you haven't hit every major muscle group already!

Have a great time with the Wii. It sounds like fun. My girls are way too old for that stuff, so I'll enjoy it vicariously through you.

Wiiiiiiiiiii! We bought one for the kids for Christmas and they've loved it! Glad to see someone else uses household furniture in their weight lifting.

Lana, great blog, and congrats on finding the Wii's. My son (14 years old) has every game system on the planet, and I vividly recall those days of being so excited to find that elusive new system. Also, congrats on being over the bronchitis. I'm battling a nasty left shin splint with about a week to go to the Austin Marathon, but I'll be fine soon enough. If you get a chance, please visit my running web site, Faithful Soles. I have a categorized and searchable Running Blog Database on there and would appreciate it if you would link your blog to it. I also have my own blog, but most of my information is on the main web site. I look forward to visiting your blog again to see how your training is going.
