I forced the issue on swimming today. I wouldn’t recommend that.  It would have been better if I’d swum at a later time on a different day.  That is the way I’ll get swimming done in the future.

I have been wanting to swim that mile, because I was poised to swim the mile about a month ago before I injured myself.  I still came quite short of a mile today, but I didn’t swim elementary back stroke at all!  That was another goal of mine.

In the end then, I swam 1000 yards of free, back, breast, and fly.  I did one 100 IM, with a time of 2.52.45.  I felt like I was flying on the final length of the IM.  Even though my neck felt fine today, I didn’t push it by swimming another IM.

My next swim should be in a couple to three weeks, at a new time.  Stay tuned for the thrilling story of added yardage!
