I did swim. Barely... It was a slog of a mile + change. But, it's Friday, it's sunny and warm, and I needed to earn my cold beer tonight. Job done

6.4km last night in the 22m gym pool.
I was swimming with the lane rope about 5 inches from my right shoulder. My left hand caught the left foot of the person on the other side of the rope. Crazy stuff happens when swimming in China.
Sometimes I get kicked in the ribs from the other side of the rope.0 -

Today: 1.5 miles @ 69 minutes0

Have been getting in late and not posting. Had a few swims - 1200 - 1600m depending on Pool Traffic. Drills and just splashing laps.
@fishgutzy I once hooked arms with a swimmer in the adjacent lane over top the rope - since the person sharing the lane with us was a wanderer we were both pretty much rubbing a shoulder on the rope so our recovery was over the rope in the adjacent lane. I have been kicked by Breast strokers and slapped by back strokers.1 -
1.5 miles today. Pretty slow, but that's not new. An older woman joined my lane without getting my attention. That really pisses me off. I nearly crashed into her, but she's a nutty side-stroker/frog kick breast stroker, so she's 10x slower than I am. I let her know that she needs to let someone know before just starting off. She was apologetic. Luckily, I was nice
Sometimes I jump to judgy... I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.
WaterX class afterward. I was out of juice. Trail run yesterday wore me out.0 -

Yup. I really don't run on pavement anymore. I used to run 5-6 days/week, but plantar fasciitis sent me to the pool. Now I run 2x a week. There's a state park near my house with a fantastic trail network and great hills (if you want them-you can also stay somewhat flat if you want). The cross training has been great. I'm not sure I'm ready for a trail race... 0 -
