Tuesday: Swim Easy 1,000 (:25), and Vibram Five Finger Run .5miles (:05)
Went to the gym and swam 1,000 yards. Just did 5x200’s at an easy pace to begin easing back into swimming. After the swim I ran Half a mile in Vibram Five Fingers to try to build up my calfs and feet. I want to start easing into a more natural running form and hopefully build up my lower leg strength as well. I want to maybe do a slow 5k in them one day, but I don’t want to go crazy like some people with Five Fingers.

Wednesday Afternoon: Swim 750y (:20), Gym (:20)/Treadmill 1mi(:09), Bike 6.25 (:21)
What a better way to ease into everything then doing everything short in one day. Started off with a stretching and 1mile treadmill in VFF’s, then did 20 minutes of core workouts and arm workouts. Got in the pool and swam an easy 750y. Came home and went for a short easy bike ride. I got rained on a little during the ride! Great day of workouts. Next week will start a much smarter form of training.

Easy 500y swim to stretch out and easy trainer ride. Somewhat sore from playing water polo for 2 hours with the team. Good and fun workout but not used to it so I felt pretty sore afterwards.
