About 1 hr 45 min
-5:38, 5:40 on 500's Pull (with the Paddles & Buoy)
-Good mix of distance, getting the HR up, and back to distance
-Supposed to do OW swim in Allatoona tomorrow AM but they are expecting temps in the upper 30's and the water is 53.....think I'm gonna skip this one! I'll probably go to Mt. View for a short workout instead.
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 1:43-1:46 on all 150's, 1:17-1:19 on 100's back. Originally was supposed to take :30 rest after each set of 50's kick in the main set, but I just went on through since I was feeling it.
-Felt really good and strong this AM. Probably because I didn't do much of anything yesterday for dryland and didn't run (ankle). Trying to concentrate on swimming more (yards, days, workouts)
