This was one of my most productive weeks. The intensity and stress of the workouts this week had me hurting. When the clock is running and your sucking wind between runs or sets you can feel every second passing by. It was also a big week for the official grand opening of the Doris and Bob Holloway Health and Wellness facility on campus. We had the opening on Friday night, I had to speak and help with prize giveaways, so I did not get to take advantage of it much that evening. However, we took advantage the next morning, it was a great feeling to wake up Saturday morning and head to the wellness center with my family. Cole was shooting hoops, Becca was on a tread mill, I was on a bike and we could all share the experience together. I am so excited about the impact this will have on my family.
The swim thing is something I just threw in as extra this week. I love the water and can swim very well, however I need to learn to lap swim and work on technique. I did the crawl, backstroke, and also traditional laps just trying to get used to it. The traditional lap is all about getting used to the breathing rhythm. Hopefully this improves; I like how it relaxes my muscles after lifting, running or biking. The only real disappointment continues to be the cycling and weather. We have had icy roads, rain, snow flurries, you name it. It is driving me crazy; I really want to get out on my bike.
Waking up Sunday morning and writing this blog spot continues to be very motivating. I enjoy everyone’s posts and am amazed at what we all accomplish. Keep up the hard work. I appreciate everyone’s feedback, and I appreciate all your inspiration.

Dude, you are killing it! This is a MASSIVE week of training. Come cycling season, you will definitely reap the benefits.
Saw some photos of the Holloway Center. That is AWESOME! Love how you had the entire family in there. That will be a great new outlet for you guys.
Glad to see you getting in the pool. Nothing better for overall endurance...and it's a great recovery day exercise. I trimmed my waist a full size in the pool.
I look forward to getting back to see the Center. Maybe we can get that done in 2010.
I got my straps for the chin up bar along with a workout chart. That will add a whole new regimen to my twice-weekly strength workouts. You are definitely my inspiration in that area.
Keep up the great work!
