Knee was feeling much better, but I decided to rest it another day before running. Im thinking it is just bursitis, because it is stiff when I start to warm up, but once I start moving the pain/ soreness goes away. 

Warm up (repeat 6 times)

1 x 50yd Freestyle Swim (even pace), rest 0:15 / 50yd
1 x 50yd Breaststroke Swim (even pace), rest 0:15 / 50yd

Build up (repeat 2 times)

4 x 50yd Breaststroke, 2 kicks, 1 arm stroke, rest 0:10 / 50yd
1 x 100yd Breaststroke Stretch & Glide, rest 0:15 / 100yd
2 x 100yd Breaststroke DPS, rest 0:15 / 100yd

Core

6 x 100yd Freestyle Swim, target time 01:46 / 100yd, rest 0:25 / 100yd
5 x 100yd Freestyle Swim, target time 01:46 / 100yd, rest 0:20 / 100yd
4 x 100yd Freestyle Swim, target time 01:46 / 100yd, rest 0:15 / 100yd
3 x 100yd Freestyle Swim, target time 01:46 / 100yd, rest 0:05 / 100yd

Also thanks for all the comments about college running. Part of me would love to try to run at college. I would like to see how much I can improve with training and have been really enjoying running. However, I have not heard great things about the track program at my college and it seems like most of the distance runners are always injured. I would still be willing to try competing, but it has been made very clear that if I ran track in college that I would have to pay for my entire college education myself. It would be almost impossible to work enough to pay for school, run on the team and do my school work, I dont think I have much of a choice :( Is there some other way I could compete in track somehow?
