Week 2 of the timed 500 I clocked an 8:17. An improvement of 11 seconds from week 1 and knocking off a tad more than 2 seconds per 100yds. Definitely a good thing, although still lots of work to be done. I didn't think I would see any improvement this week because I woke up still sore this morning from Wednesday's workout. I also wasn't able to swim Thursday or Friday due to a Christmas party and then some car troubles yesterday. I think the sprints I've been doing are helping. I did 6 sets of 50's in around 40 seconds each after my 500 in the main set.
Only about 2000 yds this morning... I should have gone a little longer. And only 1 run this week. I should have done more. Next week will be big! I'm off work for Christmas break and want to get 6 swims, 2-3 runs and 2-3 spins on the bike trainer. There's work to be done! But not until after watching the IM World Championships today and partying in Hoboken tonight.
