I was late getting my swim in this morning. I'm a bit of a news junkie so it's hard not to get magnetically attracted to the computer when i get up to find out what's gone on in the world since I've been in bed, and today was no exception. After extricating myself from the computer and getting ready to walk out hte door, I realized we had a pitch today and the clothes I was currently wearing would be completely inappropriate... which led me to searching for my suit as quietly as I could (Ang was asleep) making me a bit later. I did end up at the pool and did squeeze in about 1500 meters, but I've got a long way to go to get back into shape.

My main goal this winter is to build more upper body strength and balance out my legs. For whatever reason, my left leg is a bit less stronger than my right leg and I'd like to even that out. My secondary goal is to improve my freestyle because right now it's awful. We'll see how successful I'm able to be, but so far I've been pretty diligent.

Things are slow at work so I've had a chance to catch up a little bit on my blogging. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't be able to get TOO caught up, but we're waiting on projects to close so it'll be a couple of weeks probably.

I'm more than halfway through the Bono book now and I'd still heartily suggest it for your own reading list.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on some movie blogging in and amongs a couple of other projects stewing at home tonight.

Try Total Immersion's website. It has great tips on swimming technique for triathletes. it changed my stroke and it can change yours. It takes some time and effort but you will never swim the same afterwards. Give it a tri!

I have the same trouble with getting sucked into the computer before a workout. See, here I am this morning and I should be putting my running shoes on. How are we going to fight this need-to-know urge?
My word verification is "thukidia" (are they calling me a thinking idiot?).
