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.

Swam with the "Swim with Pete" group up at Red Top Mountain. Only did two laps of the course and didn't feel all that great, my back is bugging me a bit. So anyway, did about 2.5 miles and it took about 45 minutes. I was 2nd fastest of the whole group (about 50). We were being led by Meghan, a former Florida Gator swimmer, she was quick!
