I got out of work and headed for the pool.  The plan was 1500 yards total, 600, 300, 4x100 & 4x50.

Well I looked at my counter and it was at 15 or 750 yards, I had missed my 600 stop point.  So I figured what the hell, just keep going to 1000.  I got to 1000 and felt good so I kept at it.  I made it to the wall and my counter was at 35 or 1750 yards.

My pace fell of and there was a few laps that I felt like a John Deer tractor going though the water, but I made it.  It took me 48:30, so now I have a number to improve upon,

Everyone I know is at work so I had to tell someone.  What better place then here.  I even treated myself to a Organic Chocalate milk and bagel.

Now it's off to bed.

Nice

Watch out because this big guy is right behind you.

Tuesday I was hoping to do my lognest swim yet of 200 meters and was feeling good so I keep going. I made 600 meters and I was so excited.

Tell me about your counter? What is it?

Way to go!  Swimming can be so difficult, but I find it's the one discipline where you can experience breakthrough workouts most often - which makes it more fun to go back.  Keep it up!
