Catching up with the Acadamy Grads...
I planned on waking up today at 0500 to go to lap swim but didn't get up until 0530 which is still okay since I only swam until 0645. I'm doing my best to catch up the the two officers that are in the Search and Rescue swimmer program with me. I am still leaps and bounds ahead of the blue shirts but the officers are a little bit ahead of me. I am swimming twice a day as well as on weekends and I'm working out an extra two hours most days. I'm hoping that doubling their effort will catch me up quickly since I am not very far behind them to begin with.
All five of us are meeting today at 1100 to swim until 1300 and after that I am probably going to go to the track and do sprints.
In three weeks I want my numbers to improve as follows
Current #'s > Goal #'s
1&1/2 Mile Run .. 9:30 > 8:45
Push ups in 2 minutes .. 58 > 70
Sit ups in 2 minutes .. 70 > 90
Pull ups in 2 minutes .. 10 > 15
400m Freestyle swim .. 9:24 > 8:00
The mile and a half time I could have at 8:45 already... but I think it would kill my other numbers. I need 8:45 to be easy like 9:30 is. Push ups and Sit ups won't be too hard to increase. I just need to practice the right form, unlike PFA style, these push ups are chest to the ground and the sit ups are chin to your knees, instead of elbow at 90 degrees and elbows to your thighs, respectively.
400m Freestyle swim is simply a matter of breathing... I'm so used to sidestroke since that is pretty much all I've practiced for the past three years that I have a hard time breathing on alternating strokes.
I need to do some diet research and figure out how I should be eating. I don't want too much weight gain but I do need strength gain so I have to balance carefully.
