Swim Training

2008-10-09T10:38:00.002-05:00

Today marks the first day I am going to the gym twice. I have 15 minutes of areobic warm up then weights for 45ish minutes.

It should be interesting I"m still hurting from a few days before

Training

2008-09-25T08:50:00.003-05:00

My arms are just sore and feel like lead. Today I have cardio and nothing to do with my arms so that is good.

Swim Endurance #2 will be tough tomorrow.

Open Water Swim Training

2008-09-22T16:39:00.002-05:00

So with the plan in mind of swimming 5k 10k then the channel we officially begin intense swim training this week.

I will be swimming over a mile anytime I get into the water. Plus 2 cardo spots a week. I think these will be done at the gym during the day and I'll swim at night.

Either way the total immersion type swimming is amazing. I'd recommend the new dvd to anyone looking to learn to swim better. Also if you live in evanston and want to learn to swim definetly see Craig Strong at the YMCA. He has been a great teacher.

Life as I know it (this week)

2008-09-12T09:07:00.003-05:00

coaching appointments are taking off. I finally have a few with people who seem like good candidates. That is great.

Swimming has been great and intense training starts soon.

That is the bulk of my life. Brian and Pat are moving in. The folleys of that and the halloween store should provide an interesting 2 months.

Quote I like

2008-09-12T09:02:00.001-05:00

"Rarely is it effective advocacy to try to convince the judges that the case law compels them to rule in one's favor. For if that were so, the case probably would not have have gotten to the appellate stage. The most effective method of arguing a case is to identify the purpose behind the relevant legal principle and then show how that purpose would be furthered by a decision in favor of [your] position." How Judges Think, Richard A. Posner

So I've agreed to start training to swim

the english channel in Sep 2009.

First training for a 5k.

Me update

2008-08-04T15:22:00.001-05:00

Life has been of interest lately. One thing I have noticed is that I am surprised and a bit sad Katie and I have spoken in like 6 weeks.

Coaching has been going well. Finishing this round of training this week in seattle then off to Singapore for two weeks. Should be good and I’m looking forward to it. Well that’s all I have for now.

Swim training tomorrow night. I’m starting to get decent. TP wants to swim the English channel and I don’t know if that is going to happen but it’s something to shoot for.

Swim Training is great

Had drinks last night with TP. Always good and gave me some good insites.

Coaching is hitting a great tipping point with the videos and the product to come out soon. So I have no complaints.

Looking at getting a swim coach to master total immersion swimming.

Quote of the Day

Seeing What the Blog Poster Does

2008-06-25T11:49:00.001-05:00

Blogged with the Flock Browser

2008-06-25T10:01:00.001-05:00

Installed Flock social media browser. It seems pretty cool. At least lets me connect more with social media stuff.

Functionality vs Fun

2008-06-23T09:46:00.001-05:00

I haven't drawn the line yet. I like my actions to be purposeful but I also like to get lost in a moment with no clear direction or purpose for a short time. I struggle to find "A way" and I think that answer will be in between.

Quote of the Day

2008-06-12T08:43:00.001-05:00

Salvation is living more and more in harmony with God, a process that will go on forever. - Rob Bell

I've wrote about this quote before

2008-06-11T11:06:00.001-05:00

but i've thought alot about it lately:

Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

- C.S. Lewis

Looking it up I find that it's in Mere Christianity. Which I find a bit funny as I don't like apologetics much. Here is the excerpt:

The principle runs through all life from top to bottom. Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorites wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
