2150m, 61 minutes, mixed strokes, 16 sprint lengths

I have thought of trying to learn butterfly just so i could say i was 'pretty fly for a white guy'

2050m, 62 minutes, mixed strokes, 16 sprint lengths

I also don't like them, and when I first started one length just about finished my swim. Like you said, as long as I am swimming at my 'endurance' pace I can swim all day long. But, I also figure if your workout doesn't keep getting harder then you get diminishing returns from it. So I do changing interval sets. 8…

2150m, 61 minutes, mixed strokes, 16 sprint lengths. I think tomorrow is a rest day.

another day where my swim time clashed with the water aerobics class. so I did about 40 minutes with them, then got in about a 20 minute swim ...700m, mixed strokes, 8 sprint laps

Elizabeth's Pizza on Guilford College Rd - I've always been thrown for a loop by Elizabeth's pizza in this area. Are they a franchise/chain or aren't they. There are lot of them around, but only in the immediate area. But other than the name, and serving pizza they don't share alot in common. Some are set up like little…

Water Aerobics class when I came into the pool today. So I joined that for the last half hour, then swam 950m.

After some nausea and diarrhea the first week i had no ill effects when I was on it. But I am back off it again.

Forgot my goggles today so it was an all backstroke day 44 minute mile, personal best, 2200m in 61 minutes, also PB tomorrow is a drylander day ....i'm thinking a run, I've been avoiding this because of fear of stressing the knees. But I've dropped enough weight that I think I can give it a try. I'm hoping for a triathlon…

I keep thinking about getting something ...but I haven't yet ...I really want the Instabeat ....but unfortunately I think that is turning out to be VaporWare ...

2050m 61 minutes, mixed strokes, 16 sprint laps ...

Best swim in MONTHS ...i just felt 'right' in the water today. Strong and fluid. And set a new PB, still slow compared to the real athletes amongst us. But it felt good to have some tangible progress. I've been stuck in neutral for 2+ months. 2150m, 62 minutes, mixed strokes, 17 sprint laps.

My understanding is that most of the dangers and complications of diabetes are from a build-up of tiny damages over time. So, in an of themselves, spikes aren't a real danger. As long as your 'normal' levels are in a good range, the spikes don't last long enough to do serious damage. That being said ...there does come a…

Instructor? No ...maybe the equivalent of a Body Jam 'Crash Test Dummy' 2050m, 62 minutes, mixed strokes, 16 sprint lengths So mixed performance notes today. I THINK this may be a personal best for me ...i got at least 2k one other time, but I think this is my first 2050 ...so yay! On the other hand at the end of my swim a…

1850m in 61 minutes, mixed strokes, 15 sprint lengths

Many people do recommend this as a drill to help 'train' you to a more flat body position in freestyle. However, like you mentioned the first several times I tried it I felt really really sloppy. I found that the kicking motion of my legs was doing a lot to 'stabilize' my line in the lane an prevent me from angling from…

1850m, 61 minutes, mixed strokes, 15 sprint laps ..tomorrow is a drylander day ...

1900m, 60 minutes, mixed strokes, 15 sprint lengths ..

1750m in 62 minutes, all breast stroke, 20 sprint laps ...timed the mile this swim it was 56 minutes

Jealous ~1800 m (i ended up in the wrong direction so I mustv'e dropped the count somewhere along the line). 61 min, mixed strokes, 15 sprints.

1800m in 62 minutes, 14 sprints

Stair Master kicked my butt yesterday, I could only stick with it for 15 minutes ...so I finished out my hour on a recumbent bike instead I got maybe 200 meters in before the Aqua Zumba class started today. I figured staying and doing the class was better than bailing on my swim.

1900m, 65 minutes, mixed strokes, 15 sprints ...tomorrow is a drylander day ...im thinking stair machine ...that should teach me for leaving the pool!

61 min, 1900m, mixed strokes, 15 sprints

I was actually a bit jealous of your openwater swims ....i didnt make it out to a lake at all this summer to see if my new lap prowess will translate at all ...

I'm a recent diagnosis ...I was on Metformin and then off again in a 6 month period, but that is unusually fast. My A1C was 11 at diagnosis, and they put me on 1000mg/day of Metformin and Ramipril At my 3 month checkup my A1C was 5.4 and they cut my Metformin to 500mg/day At 6months my A1C was 5.0 and they cut out my…

1900m, 62 minutes, mixed strokes, 15 sprints

I forgot my goggles today ...and apparently I have become a little crybaby over chlorine in my eyes. When I first started all this I went weeks before giving in and buying goggles ...today I couldn't make it 200 meters ....so i decided all backstroke was better than quitting my swim early 61 minutes, backstroke ...
