Had to take a few days off from the pool as I've been fighting what is probably a double ear infection. Feels better now and I'm gonna keep using "Swimmers Ear" drops in them going forward.

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.
