Rowdy Specificity: January 2015
http://rowdyspecificity.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. This was the first workout of the week. I didn’t feel very well the last two nights. So I had to swim a little extra tonight. I am really hoping that I can get one more workout in over the weekend, but that doesn’t usually happen. So tonight’s workout wasn’t that interesting. I swam 4,500 yards straight. But I think it is good for me to do long workouts. I want to try to incorporate them more. Thursday, January 15, 2015. I was trying to figure out what makes this time different.

Rowdy Specificity: July 2014
http://rowdyspecificity.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2014. BEAR LAKE MONSTER SWIM! Last Saturday was the Bear Lake Monster Swim. I had a blast and did a fabulous job! My goal was to swim it in less than 3 hours and 30 minutes. I did it in 03:09.13. I got 6th over all and I was the 4th woman to finish. You can see the results here. I was also number 13 which is my lucky water polo number! It was a great day and although I was pretty nervous before the start, once we got going I relaxed. I am pretty lucky in that I swim pretty straight....

Rowdy Specificity: June 2014
http://rowdyspecificity.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. Deek Creek open water practice. Thanks to Karen, Mandi, and Gerald! We spent the afternoon practicing our open water swimming skills at Deer Creek Reservoir. I had a blast! I was expecting to feel some sea sickness or fear of the open water, but I had no issues at all. In fact, there were times I couldn't stop smiling while I was swimming. And warm. My ear canals were cold at first, but that was it. Everything else was just fine. But the water was a bit warmer than I th...I did not...

Sunday, November 30, 2014. I got a long workout in this afternoon! Here is what I came up with for today:. 700 pull (tight legs down/relaxed back). 200 recovery (100 breast and 100 free). 600 cool down (100 free/50 breast). 4,000 yards total.

That way I can enjoy it more. Friday, November 28, 2014. 3,400 yards total. These are my...

Rowdy Specificity: First Run In Years
http://rowdyspecificity.blogspot.com/2015/02/first-run-in-years.html
Sunday, February 15, 2015. First Run In Years. Today I started my walk/running. I decided to start very slowly because my left knee usually hurts when I run. I thought this way I could slowly build up the muscles. I started with walking and alternated with running. I went nine rounds for a total of about 25-30 minutes. I used my iPod to measure; I alternated by songs. That is probably not the most exacting way, but I liked it better than trying to keep track of minutes and watching my watch.

Rowdy Specificity: Sunday Afternoon
http://rowdyspecificity.blogspot.com/2015/02/sunday-afternoon.html
Sunday, February 8, 2015. I really have to thank my husband for putting up with me. I make it pretty miserable for him. I put him through a lot of pressure not to swim. He has to keep persuading me every time. And he does such a great job of it. I only got in the pool today because of him. I just wanted to take a nap. But he knew better, he pushed me out the door and told me that I would be glad that I went. And he was 100% right. Here is today’s workout:. 1,000 warm up. 4,000 yards total. But it was fun!

Rowdy Specificity: February 3, 2015
http://rowdyspecificity.blogspot.com/2015/02/february-3-2015.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2015. February 3, 2015. Nothing too interesting tonight. I haven’t swam in about a week and a half. I did not feel very well either. So I just made it through my 3,000 yards. I swam it as two 1,500’s. I did have quite an adventure over the weekend. I got to spend the night at a yurt in the Uinta Mountains. It was about a two-mile hike up to the yurt. Then on Saturday we did a two-mile round trip to Lily Lake. It was a blast and I would love to do it again. Lower Body and Abs.
