Swimming again.

Today I swam 3 x 20 laps and then threw on 4 more laps at the end with 1 minute rests for a total of 2 miles. It took my 1 hour and 2 minutes to do the whole workout including the 3 one minute rests. I had know idea I could swim that far that fast. The funny part is, my first set of 20 laps was by far my slowest. I guess endurance is not my limiting factor while swimming, it's the ability to actually swim fast. I guess I need to work on my speed with shorter intervals.

My achilles is approaching 100%. Maybe I'll actually run tomorrow for the first time in 12 days.

Endurance swimmer, COOL!!!! GOOD JOB in analyzing your swimming strength and areas to improve upon! You're awesome! :) I'll be happy to not sink or drown! Hehe! :)

12 days no running? I'm on day 16 of no running! Crossing my finger that my doc will clear me for running tomorrow....one can always hope right? :)

Smooth,I hope your doctor clears you to run as well. I'm just being very careful with my little injury so it won't become a big injury. I figure I've got to swim and bike anyways to get ready for the tri. I'm sure you will let us all know what the doc says tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
