-Definintely feeling better today, physically and in the water. Will be back up to 5000K yards per workout next week.
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.

Been sick since last Thursday so I'm pretty much laying low. Lots of sinus congestion, runny/stuffed nose, no energy. Gonna maybe try to get the pool tomorrow at lunch time for a short/easy 3000 SCY. Its been a week since I've been in.
Check back soon, hopefully I'll be up and running (literally and figuratively)
