Midnight Shift was tough going last night. I was very tired. Then today I kept waking a lot. The telephone rang twice. First it was an automated sales person telling about some sale at a local department store. I promptly hung up on her. Later the phone rang again. When I picked it up heard, "Hello, this is Congressional Senator John McCain." I did not wait long enough to see if it was really him or a recording. I just hung up. So Senator, if it was really you and you see this blog, sorry for hanging up on you. But you did disturb my sleep. After finally waking up for good I headed to the pool. I felt out of sorts with the drastic change in sleep schedule. So I just just took everything real easy today. I swam, rode the AirDyne, then ran. I am running 6.5 miles instead of 6 today and for the next 2 days to make up for yesterday's short run. I really hope my body responds well to my new workout cycle. 6 miles a day running, with 45 minutes of cross training (swim & bike) Monday - Friday. That would give me 90+ minutes a day of exercise. Saturdays run 8 to 10. Sunday rest. I think it will kick my fitness up a notch while at the same time reduce these aches and pains I have had recently from running more mileage. Swim - 1200 yards - mix free/breast - 23:04 AirDyne(air resistance bike) -6.3 miles - 23:00 Run - 6.52 - 8:12, 8:06, 8:04, 8:03, 8:02, 7:57, 4:11 - 52:38 - 8:04 avg. Total Time - 1:38 80.82
