I'm Back in the Water!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Wednesday at: 9:28pm (September 9th, 2009)
Along with some ankle pain, I was in the water for the first time since last Friday's incident. I hopped in with a local High School team and swam 3,300 yards to take the edge off and see how my ankle would hold up. As expected, the harder I kicked, the more painful it was. I'm hoping this was the first of many successful training days ahead of me. Lesson learned and still no broken bones. I'm ready for a nap!

I checked the website www.MichiganMasters.com today and noticed that the fall schedule is posted! I'm not sure how many of these meets I'll be in town for, but I always try to make as many as possible.

Today's workout reminded me of one of my favorite recommendations to anybody looking to get in shape or shed a few pounds... "Elevate your heart rate at least once a day". After taking so much time off training, I still managed to only miss a handful of days of NOT elevating my heart rate each day. I'm not going to push it too hard until I'm 100% again, but I hope to take a walk tonight, baby steps to get back into shape...
