Last weekend had a good thanksgiving with my family. My sister came from California. We sure had a feast and sure was worth eating a lot since it only happens once a year! 

Sorry for not keeping up to date with my blogger. I've been using more twitter and facebooking. Please follow me through twitter @marcuswim and Facebook. It shouldn't be too hard to find! 

My week is going well and I have a swim meet up in Tempe again this weekend. This meet will be my last before I start tapering for the one in January! Then hopefully continue to compete the rest of 2014 meets afterwards if my fundraiser goes well.

What an early am swim this morning but I was glad to get some in since yesterday practice was canceled! Quite chilly this morning but thanks to the heated pool :P got in a good 5 grand this morning. Yup then headed to lifeguarding later that morning. Pretty calm which is nice. The. Of course had to hit the gym right after that. I'm glad this week is a deload week so just hitting it real light and bit too crazy on the metcon. Just break a tiny sweat. Instead of going to yoga I had to coach later in the evening. Coached age group then masters afterwards. I was cold and hungry but finally feel much better now. Well I gotta hit to bed since I gotta coach in the AM! No rest for the wicked... 

Well I have to say that I am really excited to be fully back in the water and have a goal to get after it! 2016 Olympic trials. If you have a few bucks to spare, please support me so I can fully commit and focus on what I need to do to succeed!

Had a good morning swim practice and I gotta day... I'm glad to be back from DC! Nothing beats the Arizona weather in November! Anyways it was a good arobic training which had a lot of 200s. Afterwards went to work at the Oro valley pool... It was chill and slow but better than. Watching a packed pool. This afternoon I had a good lift and was able to hit 75, 85, and 95% effort on the jerk, push press and weighted pull ups. Then a fun competitive metcon workout. Shaun and I had a good battle and pushed each other hard to the end. Then tonight I ended with a good yoga session and got my dose of stretching. Today was a good day and looking forward to a new day tomorrow! 

I am currently up in DC for a USADSF meeting for the weekend. Reviewing the each sports accomplishments and what needs to be worked on for the next 4 years before the 2017 Deaflympic Games. Its been a interesting meeting and today is the last day before I head back home Monday morning! I am looking forward to get in some swim this afternoon since yesterday was a busy day with the meeting, football and swimming was happening on campus. Oh also I have to say its too cold for me here and I can't wait to get back to Arizona!!! :P

Yesterday morning went for a swim. It's so dark outside that you don't wanna jump in the water but thank god the pool is heated.we did about a 4000 yards of swimming before we use the racks. Felt pretty good but afterwards when I got out I could feel my muscles were really tender from Tuesday lift. Then went to my usual routine which is work, it was alright. Work is work really but I was tired and ready to be done. Later in the afternoon I hit the gym with my training buddies. Worked on Olympic lifts then a tabata metcon workout. It was a good workout, different than what we did in the past. But I couldn't go all out because my hands were really tender from two days ago.

Well this morning I'm just getting ready to go for a swim before I fly out to DC for a Deaflympic committee meeting. It's gonna be a long day! 

Had an awesome workout at the gym this morning. It was a good feeling to be back and feeling full of energy. I was able to push myself hard and was able to keep on a positive side. After that had to go work, lifeguard for several hours. It was alright, slow and getting beaten in the sun. Tonight swim practice went well too and was able to keep up and finish my practice. Got in some mix arobic training. 5700 yards and felt pretty good too. It was a good king day overall. After swimming had a meeting with my coach about my future swim meets and when to get ready to taper for Deaf Chmpionships in Jan. I am pretty excited and see how I do! Overall I had a great day and was able to get a lot done! Also working on my future fundraising to continue training for 2016 Olympic trials and 2017 Deaf Olympics in Turkey. :) my friend Amanda and Stephen are doing an amazing job helping me make a video... More to come!
