Yesterday, I did a lot of bending over and squatting down to keep my joints from siezing up.\u00a0 Yes, I’m quite sore, but not in a “not able to move” kind of way.<\/p>\n
I think several things helped prevent it.\u00a0 I hit the hot tub after I lifted yesterday, and I made sure to move through a range of motion in my legs quite frequently and got up from my desk to walk around a lot.<\/p>\n
Today was a swimming day, and I got in a good workout.\u00a0 I also soaked in the hot tub after I swam.\u00a0 I think the frequent soaks will help prevent enough soreness to interfere with range of motion even if it doesn’t prevent it entirely.\u00a0 That works for me.\u00a0 I don’t like not being able to move well, but a little pain is all right.<\/p>\n
I’ve dropped back from the longer, slower swims to the shorter, more intense swims.\u00a0\u00a0 I think my goal for swimming this winter is to try to get that mile in, but do it in less than half an hour.\u00a0 So basically, I’m going to be pushing at a fast pace and keep adding distance to keep my workout at about a half an hour for swimming.\u00a0 It seems to work out well for me.\u00a0 I can do a mile in 40 minutes now.\u00a0 Shaving off ten minutes in eight months is a lot<\/em>, but we’ll see.\u00a0 It’ll be fun to try, anyway, and certainly it’ll do my body good.\u00a0 It’ll also keep me interested, which is definately the important thing.<\/p>\n I love it when I can work out right after working at the gym.\u00a0 I can’t always do that — teaching and such.\u00a0 But when I can, it’s great.\u00a0\u00a0 All that’s out of the way and the day is hardly touched.\u00a0 Today’s a planning day at my real job, and I’ve got a buttload of proposals to write.<\/p>\n Heh… I just called freelance writing my real job.\u00a0 I guess I’ve arrived!\u00a0 That feels pretty good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, I did a lot of bending over and squatting down to keep my joints from siezing up.\u00a0 Yes, I’m quite sore, but not in a “not able to move” kind of way.
