This is a blog I created in August 2008 to keep up with my progress back in the swimming world. Prior to the Summer of 2008 I haven't really done a swimming workout in 15 years when I was about 75 lbs. lighter! My main motivation is for the health benefits and having something to train towards....but really there are SO many other benefits.

I tweaked my back pretty good doing squats yesterday morning so I didn't swim this morning. Will try again for tomorrow morning. Then we are having a Dynamo swimmers luncheon reunion at noon. I'll post pictures up on my Facebook page!

I had a dentist appointment this morning at 8AM so I cut my workout short. Plus I'm going to incorporate weights/drylands this week for the first time since I've started back and don't want to be completely wasted by weeks end so I'll either cut yardage or intensity this week, haven't decided which yet, stay tuned!
