2000m - Having not been in the pool for awhile, which seems like I'm typing this all too often, I was happy to just tick off the 40 touches/80 laps. Most of the workout was solo, only at the end after 30 laps did a fast girl get in the lane next to me. To … Continue reading Think about everything and pass the time

2000 yards Summer hours? Yes! I don't have to take John to school so I can avoid rushing to and from the pool at LA Fitness. When I get notice that I have to be in for a meeting with visiting guests at a certain time, that adds some urgency to my workout. I know … Continue reading Feeling like I have to be fast
2000 yards. With the local Motivation Man 1/2 iron distance looming in a week, it's now that I solidify the thoughts I want to carry with me as I race. Starting obviousl;y with swimming, I know last year I was slow for the Olympic distance. The current was against me, yes, but it wasn't a … Continue reading Consumed
2000 yards. The routine of swimming and the counting of my laps is ok. Whe I get in the pool, it's cold at first but I don't feel that once I start seeing how far along the known markers on the wall my strokes take me. I know it's necessary to condition myself to swim … Continue reading Tiring, but that’s the point
2000 yards I struggled to get into the parking lot this morning, cars are backed up on Okeechobee Blvd all the way to Haverhill Road due to a lane closure. Because of this, timid drivers don't vault across the three or four lanes. This leaves me hung in the middle of Okeechobee Blvd watching and … Continue reading Don’t look now…
2000 yards. Today I made a surprise appearance at the pool since the notification about LA Fitness doing a "chemical balancing" is no longer on the front desk. I went back out to my car, got the swim gear bag and hit to pool. Starting 15-20 minutes earlier meant no other swimmers, in a newly … Continue reading Cleaned out
2000 yards. I get in the pool immediately upon arrival, even when I feel cold from the outside. Sometimes I'm tempted to go in the sauna room as I pass it dressed in a skimpy compression suit bottom. Today I had more goggle issues, like I should be loosening the strap and making sure the … Continue reading Slower than the norm.
2000 yards Today I started and swam as usual. I'm low maintenance, I hop in and just start going! As a result of using the same pool most times, I know about where on the wall I should be at each breath (every third stroke). When I start, I go pretty far for my 6th … Continue reading The stroke decay.
2000 yards. It's getting easier. To show up, hop in and do a mile swim isn't a big deal anymore. I'm more efficient than a month ago, I am staying in twice a week conditioning shape, this is good! Most of all, while swimming laps I can think. It's quiet, no distractions, I'm able to … Continue reading Sorting it
2000 yards. Nothing out of the ordinary here, although I am noticing that when I first get in the water, I am acutely in tune with form vs. the end of the workout when my arms aren't in front of me as long. Today my benchmark lady swimmer was in her first lane, I chose … Continue reading Breast stroke winner
