Stayed up TOO late watching the Olympics last night. This was me last night....Go to SLEEP...ok, one more run....go to sleep, ok, one more run...repeat until it was over an hour past my usual bedtime.

10 x 50 on the minute - get under :38 or it does not count

Just an update
I have not been to the pool the past 2 days.
Yesterday I was up most of the previous night with a stomach problem. I did not sleep and my stomach was bugging me too much to try to even go to the pool to get even a 500 in. I knew I was too sick to swim when I mentally pictured my FLOG calendar and when I saw the blank spot that would be there, which has motivated me in the past to get up, I did not care. It was the right decision. It was not until 1100 that I could even drink water without my stomach complaining.
Last night my wife's grandfather passed away. It was expected but difficult still. It is more important for me to be there for her than to go for a swim.
I will be back in the pool tomorrow. 2 days off won't kill me. Not happy I'm missing 2 days but illness and death in the family trump personal workout time.

I'm experimenting with my workout schedule this week. This Saturday and most of the weekend I was pretty wiped out from getting up daily at 0430. I'm going to try to do M, W, F at 0430 and do 4500 to 5000 yards. I will get up Tue and Thu at 0530 and swim only 2000 to 2500 yards. This way not every day is such an early day. I get daily swims in and "maybe" not be so tired from my long work/school days. Might be more motivated to swim more than 5k on Sat.
Got to the pool at 0600 and got right in. I wanted to do some shorter and quicker sets.
500 WU
100 swim hard then right into 50 kick. I repeated this 6 times
2 x 100 sprint (1:13 then 1:10) Not too bad. I put 1:15 down for my 100 free time for the QUAC meet. Guess I'll be under that!
100 easy
4 x 50 sprint
100 easy
500 CD mainly doing stroke work and some breast mixed in.
2500 SCY
I really pushed myself on some of my sprint work. Still trying to get the balance between going all out and not letting my stroke go to hell in the process. I find that if I focus on all out speed, my stroke falls apart and I do some of my pulls in already disturbed water which is a wasteful pull. If I focus on stroke work, then I don't go as fast. The pool is my Carnegie Hall...practice, practice, practice!

Ate WAY too much greasy and bad food last night while watching the Super Bowl. Paid for it this morning. I'm not used to eating that much bad food in one sitting anymore. Body loved it going in but hated it once it got there.
I had this great workout planned but as soon as I got to the pool, I knew I had to scrap it. it was not going to happen.
100's on the 2:00 - did this 40 times. 90% of my times I hit 1:30. Every time I tried to pick it up faster than 1:30, my stomach would tighten up then I would have gas for at least 25 yards.
1000 of 200 swim - 50 choice
5000 SCY slow and easy.

Had ZERO motivation to swim today. I was at the Jazz game last night and did not get home until after midnight. I'm normally in bed around 2100 so by the time I relaxed enough and started to fall asleep, it was close to 0100. I slept in until 0700 but was still tired from yesterday.
I was not able to go at 0700 which would have made it a bit easier. Patricia had something to do in the morning so I did not get to the pool until 1000.
200 free
50 choice - can't be free. I mixed in mainly back and breast.
Repeat until my lap counter hit 100.
I stopped every 1000 for about 30 seconds to get something to drink.
I was doing around 47-49 second laps. SLOW I had no motivation, no energy, and no care. I just swam nice and easy.

My buddy Sue Frehse joined me today to film me some. She filmed me while walking the deck and then under the water.
500 WU
2 x 25 fly filmed
50 fly filmed
100 free filmed
100 free filmed under water
50 fly filmed underwater
2 x 25 filmed underwater
I plan on uploading them to Sylle and hopefully he can give me some ideas on why I'm struggling so bad.
100 easy
10 x 50 free on the minute. I had to get under :40 or it did not count. I made :37 on each and :34 on last one
500 free
5 x 100 free on the 2:00. Had to get 1:20 or under or it did not count. Hit 1:20 for first 4. Last one I got 1:15
500 free. I mixed in some hypoxic work of doing 25's underwater. Swimming 25's free but no breathing allowed. I also did some 50's with some speed and limited breathing.
450 broken down into 100's and 50's. I did some 50's keeping pace with Sue during some of her fast 50 sets.
50 free CD
My lungs really felt like they got a good workout today. My arms are pretty tired too which is nice. Nice longer day tomorrow. It is the last day in January and my FLOG says I have done JUST under 39 miles. Considering I had to take a whole week off and this is my first month back training in a long time, I'm happy with this.
