I started working out a little this spring. I had done 6 swims totalling about 17,000 yards before spring break. since spring break got over about a week and a half ago I have set my alarm to start jogging again and never once gotten up to actually do it. I finally got back in and swam 2800 yards today after two and a half weeks of nothing. I am feeling a little pathetic. Why can I wake up to donate plasma at 4:30am if I can't get myself up to jog 30 minutes before my shower?
Today I did:
-300 easy
-8x 300 on 4:45 (alt. 100 free/ 50 br k)
-100 cool off
If anyone out there actually were to read my "out of shape" workouts, they might think they are kind of boring. Well, they are. I rotate in a lot of kicking to sets just to keep myself from over-doing it with my shoulder. I had a surgery and I have to be very gradual about how much straight swimming I do. Hopefully I will get into my groove and have a lot more workouts (and progress) to write about.
I was already feeling lousy that my friend Brad is swimming consistently and Jason is doing the P90x program. Then this morning a 42 year old guy announced he is being sponsored by a new tech suit company to train for the Olympics.
My back aches. My shoulder aches. My legs ache. If I don't work out I fall apart. Man, I gotta get with it.

I tried doing a "spring liver-toxin cleanse" (lots of fruits, veggies, rice, water; no meat, wheat, caffeine, alcohol, dairy) during our spring break. I lasted three days, if that makes you feel any better.
