WEEK 18 continued...

Life is good...this morning's workout was fun. We swam 10 x 100's on the 1:50. I know this is slow, but I was happy to be consistent. Each one was between 1:29 (the first one) and 1:34 (seven, eight and nine) and the last one was 1:32. I focused on trying to be smooth and efficient. Compare this to Monday's workout when we swam 500, 400, 300, 200, 100 and the hundreds in the five hundred were 1:40 and sloppy. Every time I get in the water I concentrate on the feeling of moving through it. Somehow this never gets boring. There are so many variables that can be done in so many different ways. It takes real skill, which I have yet to acquire, but it is fascinating in the hunt. My arms are tired as I sit here at work. It feels like I am growing new muscles. I hope it's true .
