-Hadn't swam since Tuesday so just wanted to "get wet" for a bit.
-Will workout 4000 or so on Mon, Tues and then taper off for the St. Pats meet next weekend
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.
