Meaningless Swimming and Sardella Appt
Tues 10/13: 30 minute swim (15 on / 4 off / 10 on / 3 off / 5 on)
Wed 10/14: off
Thu 10/15: 30 minute swim (15 on / 4 off / 10 on / 3 off / 5 on); Sardella visit. He is the man. I called on Tuesday, was in the office two days later, got tons of face time with him, and even got an offer to speak with the son of one of his partners who is currently in b-school at Tuck. His suspicion, which unfortunately matches mine, is a stress fracture of the navicular or cuneiform. The x-ray was negative, but an MRI has been scheduled for next Saturday.

I'm Diseased
...And my disease is competition. I could only do so many days in the pool before I started lashing myself and doing my best Michael Phelps.
The gym pool is an amazingly arbitrary 22 meters in length. Every day I claim I'm going to count my laps but inevitably lose interest after six, which I usually complete in 2:10-2:15 amidst a much longer swim. I decided 6 times the length I could concentrate would be nice little foray into abusing myself in the pool.
I swam each -- and for those scoring at home, each 6-lapper equates to 132 meters -- in 1:48 to 1:51. So in other words, meaningless distance and times. I think I figured out my head I could crawl on land faster. I pretty much threw up and passed out simultaneously during the last one though. Fun.
I also made an appointment with PVD blast-from-the-past Peter Sardella for Thursday morning. Luckily for my foot -- and more importantly, my b-school apps -- work is joke right now. I've pretty much been on the beach for two weeks with another week or two of it to come. No complaints there.
Speaking of Rhody, it looked like a great weekend for of action for PVD-related runners at the half-marathon distance with Tarpy, Kim, and Fagan all throwing down.

Swimming and a Tad Bit of Running
Fri 10/9: 30 mins swimming (15 on / 3 rest / 10 on / 2 rest / 5 on), Core
Sat 10/10: 30 mins swimming (15 on / 3 rest / 10 on / 2 rest / 5 on), Core
Sun 10/11: 2-mile run to gym, 15 mins swimming (10 on / 3 rest 5 on), Core, 3-mile run home. Was so gassed on the swim for whatever reason that I cut it in half.
Worst blog ever continues!

Worst. Blog. Ever.
Some day I'll run something to justify this blog.
Wednesday: 26 minutes swimming (20 mins / 5 min break / 6 mins.....nearly drowned from foot cramps), Core. Gotta figure out how to prevent those fuggers. Step 1: don't have freakishly long toes that cramp all the time.
Thursday: Massage with Arun. Worked a one square inch area on the site of my foot. Holy shit was it intense. "So Michael, you may see black and blue tomorrow...wait, why are you smiling about that?"
Jim/Pam wedding episode of The Office slayed me. It's basically to the point where as soon as Ed Helms opens his mouth, I'm laughing uncontrollably.
Also, I've long claimed that October is the best month. Too bad The Sports Guy has a slighter wider audience to proclaim his love for the best time the year has to offer.

Chewy's Crash Course
Time: 53:00
Distance: 7.4 miles (7:09 pace)
The newly-minted groom, fresh off his week in the Greek Islands, stopped by the apartment for a few hours in the early evening while waiting for Danielle to get out of class. Chewy decided to run the Cape Cod Marathon last week, which means a two-week crash course of running. He wanted to go for 70 minutes and I agreed to tag along for some portion of it.
We hit the river, looped the 4.2-mile workout...loop, and headed for home. I finished up at a few ticks over 7 miles and let the marathoner continue on his way. The foot felt great during the run but was sore afterward. Scheduled an appointment for Thursday with Arun earlier in the day to use a old gift certificate. Hopefully not another person who is mystified by this little terror.

More Duathalon Training
Repeat of yesterday: 2 mile run to the gym, 30 minute swim (15 mins / 5 min break / 10 mins / 2 min break / 5 mins), 2 mile run home. Swimming is great, but holy crap does it tire me out. I was dead man walking when I woke up this morning.
Thanks to the Internets, I've tuned into a few new shows this fall (via hulu and abc.com), which is quite rare for dis guy: Modern Family, Community, and FlashForward. The first two are quite funny, the third is just a guilty pleasure through and through.
