45 minutes of laps before the class. It's taken me a week psychologically, to get back into the groove. I also realized that two months of dropping my workouts that don't include the water impacted my sleep poorly. That eventually sorted itself out. Now that I'm adding my water workouts back in, I'm exhausted! Opening the pool has literally added 4-6 hours of workouts back into my week. I had forgotten that on those days when I just don't want to go, I remind myself how well I'll sleep. I'll never be fast, but I hope to be consistent.1

Finally found a great lap pool two years after relocating ! Addicted to music while swimming and the demise of ITunes made my Audioflood obsolete. Trying my Delphin with Spotify playlists for the first time today !0

Yes, have been all week
Finally seeming to have my enjoyment back when swimming!
Monday: 2km
Tuesday: 2km
Wednesday: 3km
Thursday: 2.5km
Friday: 1 mile - with a speed trial for 1km. Got16:31 which is 30 seconds faster than ever before! But it was not fun on the last 250m and I did not feel graceful lol. Although looking at splits below, I wasn't as slow as I felt.
splits:
250m - 4:17 (4:17)
500m - 7:45 (3:28 - wowser! wish I had noticed what felt diff here!!)
750m - 12:12 (4:27 - obv tired from mental 250m before haha)
1000m - 16:31 (4:19)
Have no idea if those splits are good/what I should be aiming for with regards to the order of fast to slower - any advice greatly appreciated.
My vague plan is to try this once a week between my longer swims and to maybe add 2 lengths each time but keep timing just the 1km......until it gets to 1.25, 1.5 etc
I have NO clue how people can go faster than that for 10km solidly - I know really, practice practice practice, but wowser!! I was dead after that! (saw a lady with a time of 2hr28 for a 10km - with splits of around 14:45 for every km!)0 -
Today: 1 mile @ 50 minutes0

@dlmciver I have an iPod shuffle from Audioflood too. I checked with my brother (an Apple tech nerd) and he said that even though iTunes has been replaced, the device should still be compatible with iMusic. I have no idea how these things work, but when I see him over Thanksgiving, I'm going to check with him. For now, I still have all of my music and can charge it, I just don't know yet how to add more music to it. Don't give up hope yet! (Unless you were wanting to try something new...)1 -

60 min ocean swim today, about a mile, some current...0

Finally, a good long swim. While the pool was closed, I changed my workouts. I added a weight room day, so my swim mileage is going to go down. I went to class afterward and was surprised at how tired my legs were (for someone with such a weak kick!). But wow, what a great sleep!!1

The leaves have more than half fallen in Western Washington and mornings urge the Mercury near freezing. A four mile walk heats the core but neglects the gloved digits. Happily, the "y" pool has a hot tub to draw warmth to the nail beds.
My watch reset yesterday to factory defaults (old watch with an old battery) and slept on the nightstand after I awoke. Distance? Dunno. Time? Dunno.
Freestyle warm-up, back stroke things. Breaststroke--just enough. Butterfly drills and some full stroke 25's. Also a couple slow full stroke 25's of butterfly (gee, those felt good! Gotta do more!) Then out.
Yay.1 -
Just joined a pool with a gym. I went to water aerobics class for the first time last night. Tried to swim after, and I couldn’t. I thought it was like riding a bike. You never forget.
I’m sure I’ll be ok after a few more tries, but it was a shock!1
