swim swim swim swim swim

Total Distance So Far: 256.3 miles

Swimming again. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it actually, when I got home from work I found myself napping on my couch. Luckily the cheap lap session is from 8-9:30pm at night. The price went up starting today tho, a crushing $0.25. Heh, so now it's $2.25 to go swimming there on week nights. Still the cheapest deal in the greater Portland area I believe, and this pool is luckily only 2 minutes drive from my house (timed it today driving home).

Today, unlike last week, I got into the zone. Maybe it was that there were less people in the pool, or the lights were dimmer today, or the mustachioed lifeguard or something... but I was able to just swim, and swim. No worries. This is the way lap swimming should be.

My workout today...
Warm-up: 300m kickboard (flutter kick)
Laps:
* 300m breast stroke
* 100m wait-for-it
* 300m breast stroke
* 100m paddles
* 300m breast stroke
* 150m crawl
Cool-down: 300m kickboard (flutter kick)

Total: 1850m in about an hour... possibly a little less.

A good workout. I'm glad I got off the couch to go swimming tonight.
