Lots of Stetching

I have been doing more stretching than I have ever done in an attempt to deal with my body alignment issues caused by lack of flexibility. I am enjoying hot yoga on Monday nights for the stretching and also because it is something completely different. This week there was one other guy in the class who did not look any more experienced than me at yoga which was good.

I swam Tuesday morning for about 45 minutes and worked quite a bit on Butterfly stroke. I have finally got the rhythm of the kick twice then butterfly stroke. I had no one show up for spin class yesterday afternoon so I ran 5 miles on the treadmill and did some stretching and pushups (50). This morning (wednesday) I did the triathlon swim class and we worked on all the strokes; kicked 500 metres with fins, swam 500 metres free, did some back stroke and breast stroke drills and then about 500 metres of butterfly drills. Its odd that I am finding the butterfly easier to master than the breaststroke. I can feel the rhythm and mechanics of butterfly but I have a hard time getting the feel of the breaststroke kick, even though I have been working on the breaststroke for a fairly long time.
