    6000 yards (120 laps). ~2 hours. Still a little slower than average. I guess I'm still recovering from the Sunday 10K.

    I didn't go swimming yesterday. I got busy at home. I regret not going now. Ill have to remember that next time I decide not to go swimming. I will regret that decision later.

    2.5 km 58 min including 3 or 4 pauses fiddling with and restarting my music player as it kept going off.
    I'd say the sprints are definitely already having a beneficial effect on my long swims, having only done 2 sprint sessions thus far!

    After 3 week break for a knee op I went back in the pool yesterday and did 24 lengths, mixing up breaststroke and freestyle and then today did 30 again mixing up breaststroke and freestyle. Hoping to increase by 6 lengths every time I go. Took a little bit of practice to get the breathing right again without panicking! Oh, and thanks to all who post on here, you gave me a little bit of a fix for my addiction to swimming!

    @ Tamois - Impressive for being off 3 weeks with a knee op. Nice goal to have a modest length increase so you don't over do it and tweak the knee

    Back and forth, over and over. I started out in a lane alone (boring!). I was getting ready to get out when two other swimmers joined. Then a fourth. Boy am I a social being. Even though we were pretty much only swimming, not chatting, I love circle swimming when there are people at my pace. Not my best swim, but fun!

    1600m - all alone in a 50m lane that was wide enough for 4 people side by side.

    Yep, finally, though because I did Body Combat and a cycle earlier in the day, it was not a good swim! I did 50 lengths, but it took me 55 minutes due to slowness, stopping to chat, water breaks, my arms feeling like lead... I am a twit! Snore.

    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
