Smoking Cessation Update Th 04.29.2011

OK, I promised accountability, and this is going to hurt. Yesterday I smoked 23 cigarettes and didn't notice any one of them. The habit is transparent, so it should be easier to quit than I expect.

Good news, went to my group swim lesson at Northwestern last night. Our Coach gave further instruction in freestyle stroke refinement and drills, then we worked on the backstroke. My private lessons begin tomorrow, Friday nights for five weeks.

Lane availability in the pool has been an issue for many years and I thought arriving at 4:30 am would allow for my own lane. Sadly, not the case. Long story short, have decided to swim after work, then go to the track for run workout. This encourages longer, varied training sessions, relieves boredom and repetition and allows for rush hour traffic to expire before my commute home. Winning all around.

So, workout this evening will be first in the pool:

3 x 50 Pull
2 x 50 kick
1 x 50 Fingertip drill
2 x 50 One armed drilled
2 x 50 Backstroke
1000 Freestyle
1 x 100 Cooldown

Drive to track and have snack in car.

3 (4x1/4 mile repeat) @ 3:00 min/ repeat
Cooldown

Home to Jack the dog!

OK, have a greast night and let's all train smart today. :)
