Slowly but surely

Still swimming. Managing three times a week, about 9000 yards. That’s good enough for now.

Apparently it is definitely good enough! This morning we had to do a bunch of 100s. At the end of the workout, pretty much 55 minutes in (~2400 yards), I managed a 100 (SCY) in 1:26. I don’t know that I’ve ever done that.

In addition, I’m lifting five days a week. I went from three days a week to five because we have a home gym. My wife or I can go into the garage at any point, lift for a bit, then go back to the kitchen or living room or wherever.

So now Monday thru Friday I’m lifting. And usually Tuesday and Wednesday and Saturday swimming. Even better, I’m lifting heavy. Just last week my main set for strict military press was 1 x 3 @ 96lbs, 1 x 3 @ 102lbs, 1 x 1 @ 108lbs, and 1 x 1 @ 115lbs. And that 115 went up easily. Months ago that was my max and it hurt. But now, I’m doing “rep” with 115. ha!
