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.

- Goal was stroke work while still getting in yardage
- Held a little better than a 1:20 pace on first set and about 1:13 or so on second set
- Its become pretty evident that I'm a right side dominant breather, almost to the point of breathing every stroke. I think all the OW swimming has alot to do with it but its comfortable. Kinda weird as I was a very good bilateral breather in HS and college. Now breathing to left is very awkward. I'm sure it has alot to do with my body/hit roll, but the right side is now natural without wearing my shoulder out.
