Swim and pull ups

It has turned out that pool closing early might nit be that bad after all. At least some days. Other days (Monday for example) will be a nightmare.
But today was good. We had soem scattered thunderstomrs in the afternoon and I was not very keen in going there in rain but fortunatelly it did not rain when it was time to go there. When I got to the pool they were just opening because aparently it was closed during a thunderstorm. It ha already happened to me and I need to remember that now, they always close during thunderstorm so there is no point going there if it rains hard and they do not reopen unless it is 2+ till closing hour.

But I was lucky today, they reopened. So I did work-out, which was short and sweet. I loved it! My swim wokrouts are shorter now because I am at 4 swims/week. I kind of like it this way.

I was done at 8pm instead of my usual 10pm!
And it is perfect because now I can go to the gym after swim workouts. I have been a gym slacker lately. I lost some of my training motivation in March when ITB started to hurt. So this will be perfect. I can do back/arms/chest strength exercices after the swim and recover till the next swim workout.
I did not do much, only 3x12 assisted pull ups and 3x12 dips plus some exercices for hip flexors.

Now off to bed, I have been tired lately.

  2. Yes, I did. I am very bad at resisting peer pressure when it comes to things that involve pain, sweat and blood...
    I am actually starting to get very excited about it although it is 14 months away:)
