Did you swim today?

Kida - a few days off isn't necessarily a bad thing, gives your body a few days to rest & repair the muscles....
Stephen - Doesn't matter what somebody else was doing or how fast they were doing it, you're there for you & to get done the things you want to do. When I coach the kids I always tell them that they aren't competing against anybody else & nobody else in the pool matters, they're swimming against the clock & if their times trend down they are doing what they are supposed to. For workouts, if you get in the work you want in the timeframe you want & you keep feeling better you're doing what you're supposed to as well.....0 -
Laps last night, water fitness class this morning. It's going to be tricky to fit laps in on Saturdays now. I used to just hop over to the lap lane after class, but my daughter's lesson ends as my class begins, so it means that she has to wait almost 2 hours if I want to get laps/hot tub stretch/shower...0

52 minutes ...1400m, mix of strokes. Missed my swim yesterday, first day in two months ...feel a tad guilty for breaking the streak0

Juliet - smart move, a few days off now to recover prevents a lot more days off after getting sicker....
Stephen - Although it's great to have a streak, time off is necessary too. No reason to feel guilty, it's a good thing for the body to have a chance to rest & let the muscles repair.....

Morning wake up swim: 2 miles @ 66 minutes0

All freestyle today: 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 1500, 1000, 500, 250
What I was hoping for came to pass - after a week off I really felt the rust when I swam on Friday. I was hoping that the rust would be gone & I would feel better in the water today, which I did. I felt stronger than Friday & (more importantly) my stroke felt much more like it was closer to where it should be. I didn't feel like I was all over the place. Here's hoping it carries through to tomorrow, especially the strength part, since I'm doing the IM workout.....
Have a great day, Folks!!!!!!!!0 -
Ah-ha, Mac!! So it worked! Awesome
I love to hear that. Those rusty swims are so hard to work through, but when you get the swing back, it's such a good feeling. Great swim! 0 -
I gave up after 1km today - to many darn kids around, and I was in a lane with one really fast 12 year old and one pretty slow 60 year old. But I got my drills in, so that's something.0

3 miles continuous. Don't know the time; 90+ minutes. I usually forget to keep track of my starting time. Not that important to me at this distance.0

Master's practice. Different coach today, so different style of workout. Some were complaining that he didn't really give any tips - I got some, but only because my arm was hurting after he told me to keep my elbow up and I asked questions. Apparently still need to rotate more!0

Yep, grabbed 30 min after work. Working on that weaker side breathing among other things.0

A coach that doesn't talk much? Hmmm...0 -

Masters practice. I think I probably got in 1800 yards of various drills in an hour. I got to wear my new suit!
Our coach is not one to give a bunch of tips unless you are a new swimmer. I don't necessarily agree with it but that's her style. 0 -
