Swim

Spent 45 min. in the pool this evening.  Had a long day at work, so I got to the gym around 6:45.  I put in a really good effort and it felt great.  When I got to the pool I was the only one there and it is very relaxing to stand at the end of a lane, wet the goggles and peer into the perfectly calm water.  I picked the middle lane, so I would have a good view of the clock, and jumped in for a 300 yd warm up.  I then did 10 x 100 with the HR at around 150-170.  I actually did 3 of the 100s on 1:25 which was a shock for me.  I would say I did several others in the 1:30-1:35 range.  I then moved on to a moderate effort 500.  I added 200 at an easy effort and cooled down with a super slow 150.  I am very happy to be swimming this much at this time of year.  2150 is so much more than I was doing last year.
