s that actually work and do not leave deep rings around the eyes?
My training goes like this at this point:
Mon: run 1 or 2 miles on treadmill
swim 1 hour w/coach
Tues: longer run or other aerobic exercise for about an hour
weight training for about an hour
Wed: same as Monday
Thurs:
same as Tuesday
Friday:
run for an hour
swim (no coach and much less disciplined) about 45 minutes
Sat:
core work for an hour (Pilates)
Sun:
often no time to workout at all, sometimes an hour run or aerobics class
Thanks for your thoughts!

I had to give up running because of arthritis in my knee. Right now I'm doing Taiji (t'ai chi), two group classes a week plus evenings at home. It's a good workout for the legs, and it seems to have improved my balance quite a bit. I feel like there's even some carryover to my swimming. I'll occasionally use a stationary bike at the Y, but that gets boring really fast.:yawn:
I've been using Aquasphere Kaiman goggles for about two years now, and am very happy with them. I suppose something with smaller lenses would be better for competition, but I really enjoy the good field of view. I have a bit of a problem with leaks about every 3rd practice, but less than with anything else I've tried. The goggles run large, but there's a small adult/youth version available. I got mine from www.kiefer.com.
