-2:12 on last 200 (first set of 200's)
-Did a 200 Pull at the end of workout (Paddles & Buoy) and went 2:01. Not winded at all.
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.

-Held :58-1:03 on 100's. I dropped off on the second 5. Not sure why, but I do know that I'm thoroughly DEAD. Was at the point where my stroke really fell apart last 20 yards.....which is good, and bad.
-Will take tomorrow just to do some core and light cardio and use as a recovery day. I think I'm still feeling the effects of weights on Saturday as I pushed it pretty good in that workout.
-I've had a pretty consistent couple of months now of workouts for what I call my "base" training. This is just the time of year that you put in the time and yardage, but generally will feel tired and rotten at times in the pool. So its okay that I feel this way I think....about another 3 weeks of it and then I'll back off a little for the Auburn Meet.
