Long time, no blog.  Not much has happened since blogging last.  In my last blog, I told about a book Terri and I were reading, Power, Speed, Endurance: A Skill Based Approach to Endurance Training.  In the book, it focused a lot on form in the pool and while running.  Trying to correct your form while swimming or running, is like learning it all over again.  First I tried running.  The book told to land on the ball of you feet and have your heal kiss the ground.  Both Terri and I tried to do this, and both of us could barely walk the next few days due to pain in our calves.  My calf pain lasted about a good solid 6 days.  while my calves were hurting, I got in the pool and tried to become a more efficient swimmer.  According to the book I was to leave my arm extended in front of my head until my other arm came over my shoulder and entered the water in front of my body.  It also recommended breathing every 3 strokes, so breathing on the right side of your body and left, alternating.  Wow! it is hard to tweek breathing while swimming without feeling awkward and swallowing a lot of water.  I finished that workout totally waterlogged.  Since that, I have reverted back to my old ways, figuring if it is not broke, I am not going to fix it.
Other than that, I am sticking with crossfit workouts, which are giving me a good workout.  Yesterday, I ran 8 400 meter runs with a 90 second break between runs.  With breaks included, I finished in 23 minutes 28 seconds, exhausted at the end.  I woke up this morning with the back of my right knee hurting from the runs.  I plan to be back at it today.  About 1 month until the sprint triathlon, and 2 months until Tough Mudder.
