Three Weeks of Constant Soreness

From now on, I am doing to refer to Frank's endless pool as the "Tub."  Last Friday saw another swim in the Tub in the AM along with another strength training session in the PM.  I started my swim specific strength training on January 25th and have been in an almost constant state of soreness since.  Yesterday was the first time that I actually felt OK when doing nothing (sitting down at work, walking casually, laying in bed), but still felt the effects from last Friday when swimming (especially butterfly).  During this morning's swim, I could still feel some soreness in my triceps (just below my delts), but everything else felt fine.  What scares me is that I go back in two short days for more.  This time, however, I have to look forward to donning those boxing gloves I mentioned a few entries ago.  Not sure why I enjoy sharing these text exchanges with everybody, but I figure that if they make me laugh/smile, they may do the same for you.  The following pic:

Touched off this text exchange:

• Frank - "The road to the championships is now officially on!"
• Me - "Funny, I thought the pain I've been experiencing for the last 3 weeks straight made it "officially on."  Why am I suddenly afraid?!?!"
• Frank - "This has only been a warm up.  (Changing topics) If I sneeze today, I may just crack a freakin' rib!  Did sit-ups yesterday with medicine ball.
• Me - "You can't make me laugh like that.  People look at me funny whilst in the fetal position"
