Beer Drinkers' Appreciation Society (BDAS) 2020 Version - ALWAYS OPEN (Page 14)

Managed two yoga's, two arm workouts. Leg is still sore and physio thinks i might also have shin splints....fun! Going to see if I am allowed to swim this week, and will also stick to yoga and arms whilst I am restricted elsewhere. 

How everybody else getting on?

Were there dogs off leads too? It's not proper until pooch tries to chase you or get under your wheel but the owner thinks nothing is wrong!

Vuk, yes running nutrition is always a challenge.  I can't run for a few hours after eating, and I have to be careful with liquid intake as well.  I fast in the morning if I'm going to run other than maybe a sip of Gatorade or something.

Hopefully you can figure it out.

Back from Phoenix, started the ToS with about two hours of sweet spot and Threshold work on a video called "It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time".  Indeed.  Now I'm sick and have bailed on the stage race for the time being. I feel like I fought the good fight staying healthy this winter but being on a plan for five hours with EVERYONE coughing, sneezing, and blowing their noses finally broke me down.

Oh well, at least there was a charity donation involved.

Managed ten minutes of yoga tonight too. 

Hello, all.  Still fighting off this cold so nothing this week for me.  I'd rather take the week off and get better at this point in my training plan than force through it. 

We're headed down to southern MD for the state championships swim meet this weekend - I'll share some of the highlights so we all feel bad about how slow we swim. 

Quick post to commit to an arm workout tonight so I HAVE to do it!

And good luck to the daughter!

I forgot! I have now consumed curry and a very delicious beer! 

But I have put my dumbbells out ready for the morning!

Nice one! We have friends in the valley and it is beautiful there. I finally did my arm workout. Will post tomorrow workout plans for next week so I actually get some exercise done!

Hope everyone else is having a good week?

Back from States, DD did just OK as was the case for the whole team (seven girls).  Several of them were trying to qualify for Sectionals and none of them dropped times.  My daughter did get a PR in the event she hates, the 200 fly LOL.  Their final relay team threw down a really angry 200 free relay of 1:43.01 where all four swimmers swam between 25.5 and 25.9, which did qualify for Sectionals but one of them has to make it on their own for the team to go.  We have one girl left today swimming the 100 free and needs to drop almost a second, which is damn hard.

A couple of these kids at the meet are national-level swimmers and watching them is just nuts.

I got in a short workout on the elliptical on Friday and walked a bunch around the school campus (weather was beautiful - sunny and mid-50s) yesterday.  Back at it next week, I think I've managed to beat this cold down.  This was supposed to be a recovery week so I'll just add a little volume and go into the next four-week block.

Awesome!!  Nothing feels worse than the waking up, driving to Masters, and the first 400 yards of an early morning swim, but NOTHING feels better once you're done.  Love early morning swims.

@Nicole - might be joining you guys at Canton in the Spring as my daughter's team won't be doing their 5:30 AM thing in Towson anymore and she might want to continue practicing.  I'll need my own lane.
