yesterday

My coach had me doing a swim workout. I had missed 2 of 3 swim workouts last week, so I was excited to get back in the pool. It was a simple workout. I breezed through the warm up, and started the first part of the main set (1 x 200; I'm a n00b in the pool. ugh). I felt great. Then at about the 150 mark, I something in my left shoulder start to hurt. It didn't hurt that bad, and I finished off the piece. I rested for a few minutes and massaged it as best as I could. I tried to do the next part of the workout (5x100), but I was about 12.5 meters into the first piece and my shoulder just felt insanely weak. I massaged it some more, and tried to stretch, but even that hurt. UGH. So I got out, tried to do some hot/cold water remedy in the shower. And yeah that's it.

It's feeling a bit better, but I'm bummed I didn't finish that workout. I'll probably tack it on sometime this week. 

I'm thinking of supplementing my coach's plan with some more running (she only has me running two-three times a week) and maybe Major Armstrong's pull-up/push-up work out. I started yesterday (w/ the Armstrong workout) and I am starting to think that the set of 3 x max push ups in the morning really strained my shoulder.

Anyways. Today's plan is to do 1h or 1h30 of nice easy biking and some lower body stuff. Apparently it's an easy/rest week. Shucks. I really need to get on top of my workouts. I may go see a movie (Captain America). Or I may just create a list of companies I like (read: that I could work for). I really need to figure out what I'm going to do after graduation. My mom wants me to get a job. I'm not going to go back to Paris, and I think I want to be in NYC. Oh and I want to travel a lot. Not that I don't travel a lot already.
