short China trip. Too short for the gym.
And they put me in an apartment that has no public transport to the office. If I didn't have arthritis in my feet this wouldn't be an issue.
3 to 4 miles a day of less than comfortable walking.

3100y today. Not a lot of juice in me. Trail run yesterday was a slog. Water X class about put me over tonight, but I’ve got a volcano to climb in August!1

A week of adult swim club and forgot to post/
Strokes and more strokes, distance and mo distance. 1600 to 1800m per session x 3
Blackjack session was no fun. Roll a dice to see what drills you were going to do. Seemed to like 4 = dryland drills.
I did get a T-shirt for a 3rd place in what is called the Alexander Mackenzie Swim ( early explorer of Canadian wilderness ). Basically log your distance's over a 3 month period ( Jan-March ). It's a way of getting people out to the pool during the dark days of winter and fight the seasonal blah's.1 -
Well - I went to the pool atleast..
Picked a really bad time - just as they closed all but one of the lanes (for swim club / lessons erc) and so it was just one widish stretch of the pool for all the kids having a splash, any adults trying to swim or pose. Etc etc. Total dogems.
I gave up after 10 mins and went to the deep end and did aqua-jogging, and 'upright' kicking drills. My legs are pretty tired now. I managed to keep interested for 20 mins or so.,,,
Still - the take out veggie curry I picked up on the way home was very good... that part of the trip worked just fine!2 -

Just checking - are we using the 'woo' as 'yee hah' or as 'rubbish' in this group?! ?!
It has always been a positive group without the snide stuff you get in a lot of the forums - where 'woo' is most nearly always intended as 'rubbish'!
We have a fair few 'woo' s creeling in - but given the above I am determindly reading them all as 'hurrahs'.
Which reminds me - hip hip hurray curly on that 2 miles!

I've always seen it as Woohoo! A very positive cheering for the poster.
After all, we are here to find as well as deliver encouragement.
(The first time I did a 10k swim in a pool, an open water snoot made a sarcastic comment. I ignored the idjut. )0 -
Yep woo to me is woohoo or cheering someone's achievement.0

After several false springs, it appears spring is here in Minnesota (after we had a foot and a half of snow dumped on us not but 8 days ago), so I'm diving back into biking with gusto. Should be fun (and by fun I mean flirting with disaster) to see how dumping 100-150 miles of biking on top of my already pretty busy workout schedule goes. Weeeee!!!!
Lakes are still mostly frozen over, but in theory only 2 months until open swim season!
Biked to the pool for master swim this morning, made it in a little later than normal and had to leave a bit early for work, so only 2000m

Wow. So many good swims. Yes, gently, I think in this group, "woo" means "WooHoo!!!!"
I've never seen a snarky comment among the peeps here. Probably why I always come here first! I think you and I would make good lane buddies, especially if veggie curry take out is the reward...
Mediocre swims here lately. Bummer. I had been feeling really strong and particularly floaty lately, but I think my body is tired. I'm always working on muscle memory, and I think when I'm fatigued, it's the first thing to go. I have been pushing myself to stay at a decent distance. It seems that lately just showing up is worth some credit

Missed logging the last 2 Adult swim Club sessions. Unfortunately that's it for the year so back to dog paddling all by myself. I find it so much easier to get out with an organized group and a planned session. Will have to do a better job in the next 5 months until the Fall session's start.
@emmab0902 You are to hard on yourself. ( I have the same problem with my running )
You always have these amazing/inspiring swim sessions with so many great drills that we can all learn from.1 -

My swims are entirely front crawl or drills related to it (kicking usually). Yesterday was the first time in ages that I felt like my legs were getting used to kicking the same during a regular swim as they were during a drill. I couldn't maintain it for the entire swim set, but on and off I felt like my body was remembering bits and pieces of what it was supposed to be doing. My right leg seems to stop kicking when I breathe on that side. It was a quiet pool, thankfully. I think everybody is out running, hiking, walking, gardening, whatever they can do do be outside in the sun. I love an empty pool!2
