Done Did It

I like this place. I like to sleep well. No hurry to get to the pool this morning.
Bike Path open, normal ride, 28 minutes.
Normal 2k swim
Easy ride home, 23 minutes.

Done.

I would like to go to the beach to just hang. Car day, plan ahead. Oh, baseball starts in 20 minutes. no big. But it is really cool here inside. It is not so out the door and it may approach 90 at the beach later in the day. Rethinking, perhaps I will stay here and watch the first game.

This evening, The Verdugo Bar, located very close to Glassell Recreation Center, is hosting meet the brewer of Bear Republic from Healdsburg. I am sure he knows Two Rivers and I want to visit the bar. Perhaps the beach will wait till tomorrow, it is sure to be even yeckier(hotter, more humid, with poor air quality).

Do Not Stop

Keep going.  Do not stop.  Continue.  Proceed.  Carry On. This is nice, I only wish the pool was a bit closer.  I rode the bike last Friday, 25 minutes.  It takes about 15 minutes to drive to the RBAC.  Additionally, I burn too much fuel.  It is 1 quart/$1of gas per trip, 1/2gallon, and $2 per workout.  Hmmm.

Is a routine needed?.  No routines allowed, remember.  Confusion rules the muscles.  Thinking I will ride 2 times per week, erg twice and swim 5-6 times, until further notice.  Just as always, 7-10 sessions per week.  Keep going.  Try running, again. 

Occasionally I was doing a jog to the Y before the move. But I could walk faster than that jog.  That probably was not productive.

Lately I Swim and Ride a Bicycle

I really need to make time to erg on the Concept2, I think that I can do with 2 ergs a week until further notice.

I swam Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I erged twice, I think on Tuesday(or Wednesday) and for sure on Friday.

I also rode the bike to RBAC on Friday to erg for 20 minutes and I only swam 1k. I think the one way distance is 5+miles. I shall try the La Loma way soon. I saw a cyclist on the route this morning. I think he was coming from the RBAC. It is only 4.6 miles.

I swam well today.
2k, strong, with 200 back in the middle.

Approx. 500 fly drill mostly 1 arm.

CicLAvia was this day in LA..maybe 10+miles, I don't know. I was really tired after. Huge too!

Weekend Off

Very nice retirement/reunion Friday evening in SRafael. Very adult like. good food too. Extremely nice to see everyone. Congratulations to all my peers and brothers that made it. I hope to see everyone here soon. Enjoy the never ending 4 day.

New Life in South California

Rose Bowl Aquatics is the Queen of Aquatic Centers. What a pleasure it is to swim here and call it my training pool. just swimming, but well. Good DPS this AM. Very relaxed too. Nice to see you.

I tried to update my profile yesterday. It was rejected. I was just updating my recent change of residency and my new training environment. I will try again, soon.

LIVE from LOS ANGELES!!!

Hello everyone, I am so happy to be blogging once again although my locale has changed, quite nicely, it must be said. I am situated in South California in the Northeast region of the great City of Los Angeles. This is a very exciting part of Los Angeles and greater South California. Not only are there areas of extreme transition, there are also many beautiful, established, tree lined neighborhoods with parks, schools, churches and shops. I am sure that the people all around are just as beautiful, nice and tree lined as the neighborhoods in which they live.

I am looking for permanent residency. I would like to be a bit closer to the aquatic facility. There are some properties around. No hurry.

There is an open house at 524 Coleman today. Very nice, 4 bedrooms, 489k. Right next to 520, which was a foreclosed property that sold for 219k that I noticed in August. It is being rehabbed right now.

I probably need a new agent. My present agent is due in 1 month, she was winding down her client list, and I have not heard from her since I moved here last week. I totally understand. I will send a gift to her for the baby boy.

Rose Bowl Aquatics is my new aquatics home. I am thrilled. Included in my monthly pass is use of the training equipment. Two(2) Concept2 ergometers. I prefer to spell and pronounce ergonometer.

I rode the clunker to RBA late yesterday afternoon, 31 mnutes/22minutes. A lot of room for improvement.

I emailed the masters coach at RBA. Chad Dureiux. Told him I am in town and was unattaching from Santa Rosa Masters(SRM).

I visited the closest YMCA this morning. It is the South Pasadena/San Marino Y. It is a bit closer to here, but it is small, smaller than Sonoma Family. There is a Concept2 and the pool opens at 0530. Rose Bowl Aquatics is great.
