15 June 2011 midday

Workout notes Walking: 4 miles on the Bradley track:
14:19, 12:28, 12:02, 11:53; I focused on posture, then turn over then push-off…repeat. I really have to make myself “walk tall”; I just naturally want to bend forward from the waist.

Rotator cuff, stretches, hip hikes (my butt got a bit achy)

Swimming: 1500 yards. 5 x 100 (25 3g, 25 swim, 25 fist, 25 swim) on the 2:15
Then 10 x 100 on the 2: 1:47, 47, 45, 42, 43, 41, 41, 39, 40, 39 or 1:42.4 average.
Compare that to 1:44.6 on 1 June and 1:49.7 on 29 May. Little by little, I am sucking just a bit less.

Piriformis: it ached afterward. But when I got home, the basement was flooded. I did a sort of awkward stiff legged stoop/bend to get the water from out from under the bench (one leg straight, the other bent) and that position seemed to stretch it and make it feel better! The position was something between these two positions:

Maybe I invented a new stretch.
