There it is...my computer's power supply came back to life today. Not sure how long it will last but I was able to upload the pic.

I got into the pool today with the old school beach swim trunks and boy the 100 yard repeats were brutal. I was busting ass just to hit 1:49s as compared to yesterday when I was cruising 1:42s.

Overall, my interval swim workout went quite well. I was able to hold the 1:49 for all 10 of the intervals. This is my fastest 100 yard repeat workout to date. I'm getting faster. I think the high elbow drills are really helping as I notice I'm keeping the elbows up during tired times during the stroke.

The weekend cycling workouts consisted of 5.5 hours on the trainer. I watched "LOTR: Return of the King" and some CSI episodes. I was surprised to like Return of the King more than the first couple of times I watched it. Anyway, the LOTR movies are quite good for trainer workouts. I stayed inside away from the cold and wind. It was wet on Saturday and it was cold yesterday.

I'm still waiting for warm weather and still no luck.

I watched 10000 BC on Saturday night while I was down in Virginia. I figured I'd give an AMC theater a try. They stink. No bucket of popcorn, self buttering station...ugh. I was able to burn through almost 2 large bags as they did have refills. Now the movie was trying to be like a good movie instead of just an action fest. I mean it had an Apocalypto story-line mixed with Pathfinder. The special effects didn't do much as you see them all in the previews. I was robbed.

I did see a cool trailer for a Jet Li/Jackie Chan old school mythical kung-fu movie coming soon. It looks cool and I'm going to see it when it comes out. I saw the full blown Ironman trailer and it looks like its gonna be real bad.

I will be seeing Horton Hears a Who this weekend with Elena and a bazillion other kids. It should be complete chaos but Elena doesn't really care if we get good seats.
