A Day of Exercise: Walk, Swim, Walk some more!

Hello followers of my health n' fitness blog, 

It's been a while since I posted here, and so I decided to update you all today because today I exercised a lot!  Here's a rundown of my exercise schedule today:

late morning-- around 11:45am to 12:30pm:  I walked for about 45 minutes today in Downers Grove around my mom's apartment.  When I walked I listened to some podcasts-- Busted Halo Cas episode #190 (Busted Halo Cast) Busted Halo Show with Fr. Dave Dwyer episode "Is God Mean?" (Busted Halo Show with Father Dave Dwyer), and half of Fr. Barron's Word On Fire sermon 428- Fourth Sunday of Lent-"Reading the signs of the times" (Word On Fire). 

early afternoon-- 1-2pm: I went to my Special Olympics Seaspar Swim Practice. 

midafternoon-- about 3:30 to 4:30pm: I walked again-- in Downers Grove by some tennis court, where my mom and a friend played tennis and I walked.  When I walked I listened to some more podcasts-- finished listening to Fr. Barron's Word On Fire sermon 428- Fourth Sunday of Lent-"Reading the signs of the times" (Word On Fire).  Then, I listened to the latest episode of The Saint Cast#118, Fr. Jim Martin on "Who Cares about the saints". (The Saint Cast)  

Here is my motivation to walk-- in brief:  I can listen, or catch up, on listening to PODCASTS.  

If you would like to great podcasts to listen to, visit www.sqpn.com.

Well, that's about it for now.  I'll try to update you again the next time that I've got a lot of health n' fitness to journal about. 

Stay fit,

Daniel

My Exercise Update: Swimming N' Fit

Howdy followers of my health n' fitness journal weblog,

Today, I would like to update ya'll on how I've been exercising in the past 48 hours (2 days)...Here is how:

Sunday, January 11, 2009: I swam = 20 lengths*(laps) ; freestyle, breaststroke, w/ inter-mid. small breaks

TODAY: Monday, January 12, 2009: I swam = 30 lengths*(laps) ; freestyle, breaststroke, w/ inter-mid. small breaks.

Here's my GOAL: to try to swim 1 mile = 66 lengths

Can I make it? I think that I can, if I pace myself... If you take a look at the past 2 days, I started out with swimming 20 lengths, and then today (1/12/09) I swam the 20 lengths plus 10 more for a total of 30 lengths.

*Lengths: down to end of pool; 25 yards=1 length

So, that's about it for my exercise update for today (well, actually for yesterday and today)! So, until the next time that I blog to ya'll about my health and fitness update.

If you'd like to post a comment and leave some feedback, please feel free to in telling me how I'm doing, and also how ya'll are doing in staying fit!

Stay warm,

~Daniel
