Almost did three days in the pool this week, or at least that was the intent, but weather cancelled Tuesday night's session. And Saturday's session. Of course, I wasn't going to go due to QOC running an O meet on Saturday. I was going to try my first advanced course (beige). Alas, QOC cancelled Saturday early (on Wed) so okay, I'll go swim.
But no. Due to Friday's snow and cold temps, the rec center where we swim decided to open late Saturday, thus cancelling my morning plans. Oh well, only 2600 yards last week in the pool.
Sigh...
This weekend another O meet is sked. Unsure if I'll try the advanced or not.
But, got a lot of cold walking in (come on, brown fat). 22+ miles specifically with the wife and dog. In the cold.
Lifting went well.

Decided to mix it up on L day with respect to overhead press. Tried dumbbell bench press. Goal 3x12-15, started with 30# dumbbells. Next week I'll try 3x15 and if I do it, then I'll go up to 35# dbs.

- OHP: 2x5 @95#
Edit after I published the above: So, my wife. She's joined the Y recently. Up to this, she'd been deadlifting with a hex bar in our garage. The Y doesn't have a hex bar. So today she loaded 185#, which she can lift for multiple reps (she weighs all of 108 pounds soaking wet). She's really strong. Today she lifts and the one rep is hard. But she completes it. Then she deloads the bar, only to discover she had just lifted 205#. (Her PR from years and years ago is 210#.) My wife is incredible.
Great songs listened to last week: "The Indigo Streak," by Greta Van Fleet; "It's Saturday," by Marcy Playground; "Le Disko," by Shiny Toy Guns; "Who Put You Up to This?" by Sunflower Bean.
Books read: Finished Hyperion by Dan Simmons; Anglo-Saxon Attitudes by Angus Wilson; and an author's second book due to my editing it.
