Workouts: Centenarian Marathoner

Workout notes Weights plus a swim. Swim: 500 of fist/free (on 100 intervals; 2:10), 500 of back/free (on the 1:10), 500 steady in 9:06 (wanted to lap the lady in the next lane 3 times), then 500 of 25 drill, 25 free (fins); some of the drill was 3g. Then 200 pull to cool down.

The swim came after weights which was routine, except for the fact that I included dumbbell military presses (2 sets of 15 with 40 lb., 1 set of 10 standing with 45) in my first circuit (rotator cuff, pull downs, hammer rows and curls). I then went to the bench press and struggled badly; only 5 reps with 155, and 3 with 165. Doing military press prior to bench always hurts it a bit.

Centenarian Marathon: yes, a 100 year old man finished a marathon. Sure, it took him 8 hours, but so what. 100 years old and being able to MOVE is good. Click on the link to see the AP video. Hey, that is how I am moving at the end of my 100 milers!
