Recap:

Was supposed to swim on Wed. after New Years...did not...Hawkeyes totally dominated Georgia Tech.

That Sun...pretended NBA scouts were in the crowd during my Urbandale city league bball game (note...there wasn't actually a single person in the crowd). Tried to do something awesome and turned my ankle.

Fast forward this past Sunday. Went on a 3 mile snowshoe run. It. Was. Hard. Basically, my motions felt like I was running at about a 9 minute pace (actual = 10:30) and my heart felt like it was going to explode. This is what happens when you run in snowshoes and are roughly a baker's dozen pounds overweight from your Ironman a month and a half earlier.

This morning I swam with dsm911 at 5:30 a.m...Pool was packed with the New Years resolution people...who mostly swam circles around me.

Need to start kicking it in gear.

This may be the worst post in the history of all the land.

It was succinct, but you still got in all the information you needed to. Where did you go shoeing?

Hey Mike,

Went along the Des Moines River. Started where there used to be an old Target MLK/Euclid depending on if/how familiar you are with Des Moines.... Really pretty good trails. Great workout.

I won't make swim team practice tomorrow. Bob and Steve, I send my regrets.

Yesterday I went swimming for the first time in almost a year. My shoulders hurt. But as DSM 911 reminded me recently, the third weekend in July is just around the corner.
