Follow-up & Therapy II

I go for another follow up today. I've been going to therapy three times a week and making progress. It feels good to get stronger, but it's happening at a pretty slow rate. I've managed a few workouts lately, abbreviated as they are. Doing the trainer and walking gets pretty boring. My wife and I joined a health club through her employer that I plan to take advantage of this year. They have a nice six lane lap pool and I've been there to swim a few times. I start a swim class there this coming Sunday. I'm really looking forward to that. My friend Zach said it helped him get faster. I'm hoping to do the same. I'm ahead of the swim game based on where I was last year at this time. My season my be salvaged after all. Even if I don't get to do all the sprints I did last year again, I may get an Olympic distance event under my belt after all. Joining the Meyer center will allow me more opportunities to swim without having to be concerned with conserving gym visits. Hopefully after my follow up appointment, I'll be released to run and do some more aggressive strength training. All this sedentary living coupled with the holidays has caused me to pack on a few unwanted pounds. I'm ready to get back after some real training.
