Wednesday 8/19 - Rest day
Thursday 8/20 - 3rd day of the C25K. Felt a little better although my ankles were still hurting. Alas. Followed up with a mile swim.

Ha ha thanks Sarita! If diving counts then I wasn't lazy at all this summer ;-). No wonder why the new exercise kick doesn't feel like a strain - I must be in better shape than I think from all that diving.
Anyway, I usually stick to the weights 3X a week to work the entire body. So for the last two nights (just because I promised her) I've just been taking 30-45 minute walk up/down hills with my pup. But tonight into the gym again for a weight workout.
Then 2 and possibly 3 days of diving ;-)! After all the warm water diving - very interested to see how this drysuit, steel tank, pile o' weights & big old fins feel. Ha, ha.
Hope to see you around somewhere soon Sarita.

Wed:
Rowing Sprints 250m, Miscellaneous workout of situps/back-extensions and air squats
Friday:
Finally conquered my personal “Hill of Death”. It’s a hill that rises 125ft in 1/4 mile… about a 9.5% grade. For this flat-lander, that’s a lot of hill, and I’ve been battling it mentally for 14 months. I’ve only tried it a handful of times, but it has weighed on my mind and influences my route whenever I think about going that direction.
By using my lowest gear on my heavy touring bike, I was able to use cardio effort rather than “toast” my legs trying to muscle up the hill.
We also did a 15 mile ride out and back to Morrow, doing some Sprints and in general, pushing these heavier bikes harder than we would if they were loaded with touring gear.
Great workout and plenty tired, but enjoying the feeling of success!!

Sarita you are right! Cold water is a great work out! I'm exhausted.
Friday just went out in 20ft water and did 2 dives 60 & 80 minutes - lots of pratice - trying to get use to this drysuit
Saturday did two more dives at Lobos. I forgot how long the surface swims are - but what great fun!!
