August 30

Well, today is suppose to be our final day. Neither Chris nor I are to our goals, so we have decided to keep our daily routine (swimming in the morning, running as much as we can, eating well, until we have each met our goal).



From a swimming standpoint, Chris does look a lot better in the water. This Saturday, was the first time he actually did a set of 50 freestyles without any fins. I think in the coming practices, we are going to start swimming without fins.


Todays weigh in:

Chris: 221.2
Chris Goal: 211


Tim: 176.6.
Tim Goal: 170

Well, this might take a little longer than I originally thought. Chris weighed in at 224 pounds, and I weighed in at 180 pounds (3 pounds more than the last weigh in). I am not qute sure whats going on..... but, I know both Chris and I are getting healthier by the day. Chris has been doing a good job challenging himself at practice, and I am still running 3 times a week.

If anyone is interested in me running, you can find me at about 6:50 - 7:40, somewhere in the River Oaks Area. My route is Inwood to Kirby, Kirby to Chevy Chase, Chevy Chase to Larchmont, Larchmont up to Inwood, and Inwood to River Oaks Blvd. Thats one loop, I usually to that loop and some small combination of smaller "loops" along the route.

Chris is up to doing 12 x 75's free with fins on 1:20. Today, we worked on doing freestyle flip turns and breastroke open turns so next week, we can start swimming without fins and he can do turns and be faster.
