By the time I got out of court it was too hot to ride as I had planned. And I knew I would be too busy this evening. So I figured I would go to the pool and hope it was not crowded. I also decided to ride the Airdyne, which I have not been on since April. When I got to the pool I realized I only brought my Flip Flops and no other shoes. So the AirDyne was out. Then I remembered my aqua jogging belt has been just sitting in the trunk for about two months now. So I got it out. There were only two kids swimming and they never crossed into my lane, which I appreciated.

I swam 2500 yards total which included a one mile of freestyle. Turned out I was only 2.33 seconds off my PR. And swam 4.xx seconds faster on the second half of the swim. I liked that. Finished off the day with 15 minutes of aqua jogging.

Keep aqua jogging. It will help once you start running again. At JMU, our best runner had to aqua jog for two months. He came back that season, ran sub 4, and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 5.

Moreau paid for his efforts. When will Levi grow a pair?

I was aqua jogging regularly for awhile, but then stopped. It does feel good to at least do the "running motion." Maybe one day I will graduate to the elliptical. I am tempted to do it sometimes, but being patient is the best thing I can do right now. I am still not sure if I should even be riding a bike or not right now.

I am not up on all the nuances of cycling but I have heard Phil and Paul say at least three times that everyone seems afraid to make a move. I thought in the beginning many were waiting for the mountains and maybe the time trials. But now one range is about gone and still nothing. Maybe Levi is waiting for the "pair of knees." Ok, I know that was not funny.
