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.

-Was really sick over the weekend, the whole family was, so one day I got NO sleep and the other I slept ALL day. So I took Monday off to recover.
-Actually felt really "light" in the water and pretty good for being out 3 full days
-Held too fast on where I was supposed to hold 1:15, I was like 1:08 on the first one and had to bad way off. Held 1:08 on the ones I was to hold 1:10. So I am getting a better feel for where I should be on pace work 100's
