Last week was swimming day.  I had started to think I could no longer gain a yard in my workouts, because I only get to the pool once every two weeks.  But I thought it was worth a try, and if I was smart, I’d try to do other workouts in my ‘off-time.’

Here’s the breakdown:

1200 total! Today I swam: 100 free,
100 back, 100 breast, 50 elementary,
100 IM, 50 elementary, 25 fly, 25 back,
50 elementary, 25 breast, 25 free, 50 elementary,
25 fly, 25 back, 50 elementary, 25 breast, 25 free,
50 elementary, 25 free, 25 back, 25 free, 25 back,
100 breast, 25 free, 25 back, 25 free, 25 back.
My time on the 100 IM: 2:48.83! That’s 10 seconds
and some change faster than last time! I swam
that especially with anaerobic training in mind.
Just felt better in general today, it was easier to
swim consistently, the same number of strokes for
every length (according to stroke), and breathing
was easier, too.

For those of you keeping score, I increased my yardage by 50 this week.  Stay posted for more workouts next week!
