quick strength

Worked out a quick routine - squats with bicept curls, lunges with kick-backs, plie with arm pulls and 4 standing abs.  Did 20 reps of each (or 10 on each side).  Fast but hopefully I can fit it in more consistently.  I’ve hit a weight plateau again and am trying to bump up my exercise but am having a hard time fitting it in.  Ugh.

First time back in the pool in 12 years

I have not done laps in 12 years.  I’m not really sure how far I went but I’m guessing about 1000 meters?  It felt good to do laps.   I’m really off with my breath though.  I’ve always struggled with it (which was why I was a sprinter, not a distance racer).  Remnants of Asthma and a wicked inability to breathe on my right side combine to make free an interesting event for me.  I could sprint free and go forever back stroke.  I’m just hoping my form isn’t horrible after being out for so long.  In the spring, I think I’ll meet with a master swimmers group or something.  We’ll see.  Either way, for now, I’m back in the pool!  And it felt great!  And it was much easier, logistically, than I thought.  Whoo-hoo!
