-Another patented workout from Keith Switzer
-Held 1:25-1:28 on 125's
-Feel like my swimming/training is finally turning a corner a bit. I'm feeling stronger and able to go harder this 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.
