Swam for an hour this morning and the swim was perhaps the best of my 5 weeks of intensive effort. It seemed like an effortless hour, listening to Bernstein conduct Beethoven's 3rd sym, called The Hero, or Eroica. Legend says that he wrote it to honor Napoleon, but upon hearing that Napoleon proclaimed himself a king his name was scratched off the manuscript. It was his first great triumph. His first and second symphonies were certainly good, but the third was in another league altogether.
It was only my third swim of the week after 4 weeks at 4x. I will swim tomorrow as I have a heavy week of business lunches planned. will have to go back to walking for an hour on those days to get some exercise in.
Well...off to bike for 2 hours.
