    I did, indeed, swim today :D All freestyle (in yards): 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250 in 14 minutes...

    Plan (tentatively) is to stick to freestyle this week to shake the rest of the rust off & start doing IM's next week, although if I'm feeling strong enough Thursday or Friday I might move the timetable up.....

    Welcome back Mac, and I'm pretty sure you did not cover that yardage in 14 min. Lol

    His times and distances are impressive ;)

    1750m workout - warmup, drills, sprints and cool down. Decided to actually time my sprints - somewhere in the last few months I've lost 4-5secs on my 50m sprint time. :D

    That's a huge drop over 50m. Great job!

    Fantastic time drop, Kida_Adeylne, nice work!!!!

    Great swim, Bruce!!!!

    Stuck to the plan & stayed with all freestyle today - arms were heavy: 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250 yards in 114 minutes. Probably sticking to freestyle again tomorrow, then I'll see how I feel in the water Thursday & Friday. The plan is still to stick to all freestyle this week & start IM's next week, but if I'm feeling really good I might try them this week to see where I'm at......

    A personal best at the new stroke rate and close to an overall PB!
    It's hard not to draw a direct correlation to my starting sprint sets last week!
    On overall time, I guess I can now say I have completely adjusted to the new stroke rate, though not on the aerobic end of things, as the tumble turns are still few and far between, as I need to keep stopping for breath!
    Milestone all the same!

    Great work Gutzy & Juliet.....

    I did NOT get to swim today, although I dragged my sorry *kitten* out of bed & went down to the pool the lifeguard thought it would be a great day to sleep in. Unfortunately, so did the rest of the lifeguards, the pool manager & the gym manager because none of them answered the phone when the very nice woman at the reception desk repeatedly tried to call all of them.....

    Had that happen a couple times. After the first time I learned to always bring weight room clothes just in case I'm forced to change plans. :)

    I used to do that, but I would rather walk outdoors (weather permitting) or on the treadmill at home.

    Yay lifeguard!!! The one scheduled today made it, but then again she's been there awhile & knows we're there at opening. The usual freestyle today: 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250 (6500 yards) in 114 minutes. If I feel as good tomorrow as I did today I might try the IM workout, I'm curious to see where I'm at. Choice #1 is to be able to do exactly what I was doing before, choice #2 is to get the same yardage in even if I have to split some of the 200 IM's into 100's, choice #3 is to muddle through & do whatever I can....
