Beefy
9.00 am, 1.2 km, Boy Charlton pool
I'm edging closer to a run, but got down to the pool to carve up the pool for one final swim before the comeback from semi-retirement to Centennial Park this weekend for a run.
After 10 days or so of no running, I'm beefing up a bit and I had to ease gently into the pool causing the 50 metre pool water to overflow and pour over the sides of the pool.
After a week of swimming I'm also getting more fluid. Most of the power seems to come from the deltoids, and I dragged off a couple of battlers in the next lane when I thrashed around making a splash. I've also realised that I have muscles around the arm pits that haven't been used for 9 years.
I walked up some stairs coming home, knees were wobbly and my fitness was shot. Hope I can fit into the old running shorts and t-shirts.

Perhaps next Sundays 4k family run is too much for you nowadays - you could always cheat and swim over to the Opera house though.
Whew, good to hear the runing comeback isn't far away. Thorpey was getting worried.
I think that's why they invented stretchy lycra. Good luck with the running DJ.
Impressiv ethat you've kept the swimming up DJ - look forward to reading the next running post.
Maybe I'll be able to keep up with you on the bridge for more than 50 metres.
Have you tried aquarobics? Very good exercise for those who are a bit heavy as you are practically weightless in the pool and the water hides all the unsightly bulges. :-P
