Yesterday I was able to get to an indoor 25 M pool and swim some laps. I don't remember the last time I swam for distance, as my last two times in a pool were in our small backyard pool where one lap is probably 12 yards or less. So yesterday I set out to swim at least 400m but knew I couldn't do it non-stop. When I got to 350 I decided to go on to 800 and swam sets of 200 or so meters or more. No great effort to go fast, just getting back into rhythm and breathing. Well, got the 800m done in about 2 minutes longer than I used to do it when I was swimming at least weekly. Pretty happy with that!
Catching up on the back entries I can make in the Presidential Fitness Challenge, and taking advantage of their liberal categories (like "lifting/hauling" equating to dragging luggage in and out of airports, lifting them into bins and rental cars etc.) so I've finally logged over 30,000 points. I'm closing in on the Bronze Award, so between renewing my efforts to get and stay in shape and back entries, I may be close to getting it early next month. Stay tuned, and comment with some of your goals!
