Swimming Day

I decided to try, try not to be a fool about coming back from 2 back-to-back injuries and overdoing it, so I didn't bike this morning and swam instead. I love swimming, but honestly after a few laps I can't wait until I'm done!
I had great ambitions in January to swim 2x a week for the year, and swam all Feb, March and April -- until I pulled the hamstring -- and took the month off there too. I am still aiming for 104 x in the pool and may make that because I did a lot of 3x and 4x a weeks in april before I pulled the leg muscle.

First time swimming outdoors this year, and there's a nice 25 meter short course pool 400 meters from my house. For years it's been my private training pool at 6 AM -- but this year a small swim team of 10 has gotten permission to swim there. It's nice to have the company. A brief 30 minutes and I was done. Tomorrow, Friday, back to cycling.
