    2500y. Takes me a little over an hour. I really don't mind being slow. It felt good. Last week's longer swim sort of fell apart in the middle. Yesterday's was much better. Deep water class after that. I really. need to stick to my plan. It's November, so for my part of the world, that can be a downward slide through February (Valentine's day and two birthdays).

    Haven't posted here for a while. Been doing much more biking and intend to keep doing some through the Winter or as much as I can until it gets too cold. But recently I've been going to the pool more and will keep increasing this to make up for less biking.

    Anyway, did 3 miles nonstop freestyle yesterday. Haven't done that in over a year, since my biking accident. My goal is to get back into better shape than before the accident: RHR back in low 40s, 185 lbs weight, break my speed record on my biking commute with a lower average heart-rate and maximum heart rate. Getting there. So far, I've tied my record, but heart rate was higher, due to heavier weight and less optimal cardiovascular health.

    The power company broke something in the heater at my pool. Hope to see it back in action at the end of this week. :neutral:

    1km - some with hand fins - 20 mins, did before and after the circuits so was bit slower after due to the fact that circuits was arm-focused today!

    A mile and some change. Kind of slow going. I could feel my left arm/shoulder a little and I don't want that to turn into anything. Had my own lane the entire time though. :)

    1300. Not really feeling it, but loving the time change for morning swimming since my body's internal clock thinks it is 6 am and not 5 am.

    damnit. You bring up an excellent point. If I ever wanted to try early morning swims, this past Monday would have been the day to start... :neutral:

    First swim in weeks. Been going through some really tough personal stuff and haven't been able to swim or function or eat in nearly two weeks.

    Just did a very slow 1500m today.
