Only Swam today

Today i swam 2000 meters at LA Fitness in Brampton before work. -First 1000 m in 17:47..... my normal warm up if not my normal whole work out in my less is more training plan. ;) ....Then a 100 m breast cool down in 2:00.... Then 3 sets of 100 m free .... 1ST 100 m in 1:28:30..... 2ND 100 m in 1:29:28..... 3rd 100 m in 1:29:97..... Whew! that was tiring... -100 m breast to catch my breath in 2:00 -Last 500 m easy free in 9:25.... Total time in the pool 40 min give or take a few seconds.

I can't believe how lucky We've been with the snow. The streamers coming off the lake are missing Barrie but not by much. The heavy snow squalls are hitting just north of us in Bracebridge and Muskoka area's and are getting walloped with up to 3 feet of snow since yesterday in some places, and it's still coming down. I'm glad the winds aren't blowing down my way it would suck to have to use my new snow blower. ;)

Cool weather.

We didn't get much snow, only about half a foot, but now the wind is blowing hard with gusts up to 70kph with still more weather coming with snow squalls as the temperature dips down even colder. Driving down to work was a little hectic driving through a few white outs, and I imagine the drive home won't be any different.

I hit the LA Fitness club today before work but didn't have any energy to do a full work out with back to back runs and this being my third day running in a row, so I took it easy running the treadmill at 5.5 mph for 5km then went down to the pool and did a easy 300m cool down swim and hit the sauna for a bit.

Snow day

I took a snow day today as the weather is pretty bad with high winds and snow over night. But the worst part is yet to come as the temperature drops tonight and with the high winds, we are expecting major snow squalls which would make my drive home from work (if I went) even worse then going into work. So no swim today, I'll bike later tonight while watching TV and I'll just double up tomorrow with my run and a swim after.

The good news is I got my first chance in using my snow blower! yeah! it works great! :)



Edit; No bike ride, I went with Joanne to the running room for the Wed night run instead since I was home tonight. I don't get much chance going on runs during the week with the running club because I work evenings. It was nice to see some of my friends who I normally only see during the summer months. Our group went 6km, it was suppose to be a 5.5 k but we got lost.lol I can't say it was fun on the slushy sidewalks and roads from today's snow, I almost turned my ankle but didn't. whew! I think I'll stick with treadmill runs over the winter months. Anyways it was fun.

Ran and Big snow coming

I ran the treadmill today doing 5km @ 6mph in 30 min. My legs were feeling tired from my Sunday's run, but loosened up after the first kilometer. After the mill run, I went down to the pool for a 500m easy cool down swim working on form. My triceps were tight from my Monday's swim sets, but that's the price you pay for a "less is more" training program. ;)


There is a big snow storm heading our way and depending when it hits?( suppose to be late tonight and all day tomorrow, Wed.) I might not make it to LA Fitness for my planned swim, or work for that matter. I will have to play it by ear I guess, and watch the weather. If it's to bad out and driving my commute being hazardous, I'll take a snow day from work. Toronto is only expecting 5 cm but up in Barrie we are expecting around 20-30 cm but could be more with snow squalls? ...and I finally get to use my snow blower!! Yeah!
