8 JULY: Cross Training: Weights/Cardio 90 mins

I thought Coach Tasty Face wouldn't be doing a workout this afternoon cuz he swam this morning and has a meet Sunday (I get to be his cheerleader!), but turns out he wanted to do weights, so I went to the gym with him. It was a good choice, because the blister could use a day of rest.

We do 3 flavors of weight workouts: light weights/high reps, med weight/med reps, and the heavy weights/low reps. Today was heavy weight, low reps. I was a little preturbed at a few women there who seemed to think it was okay to park their heinies on the equipment and talk on the phone while we were waiting for them to finish. Maybe they were just hypnotized by the brilliant blue-white glare from Coach TF's very shiny white legs.

It was a brutal workout. I gave it my all and am sitting here now bemoaning the fact that we do not have a jacuzzi. And an in-house masseuse named Sven.

23 JUNE: 45 min Grizzly Sprint Cardio with Coach Tasty Face

I'm still staying off the foot more or less. Today, Coach Tasty Face had me work on the recumbent bike for 45 mins doing Grizzly Sprints. You pedal at a vigorous normalish pace for 3 minutes, then push the resistance to the highest setting and go balls out (boobs out?) for 45 secs to 1 min - whatever you can do short of having a heart attack. Then you drop the resistance down and pedal normally for 3 mins. It's a brutal workout, but I'm a little sad that I won't get to enjoy Coach Tasty Face's daily boot camp when he is able to go back to master's swimming every morning. They don't allow photos in the gym, so no photos; sorry.
