I'd Rather Be Swimming: Yes, I still swim . . .

Yes, I still swim . . .

I know. There has been a lot of run, jog, walk talk lately. Only two more weeks of all this run talk. But first here is some swimming.

I have moved myself over to lane 4, the somewhat fast lane. I usually swim last and barely make some of the intervals but that is the only way to get faster. Right? Here is the workout this morning with my sarcastic comments:

12 x 25 on :30, :30, :20
8 x 75 kick, IM order - some interval

Main Set

200 IM
200 non free
6 x 50 kick (I think)
4 x 100 on 1:30

Repeat the above 3 times (what has Coach T being reading/smoking/thinking?)

8 x 100 on 1:30
And, then something about pool lifts.

I'm barely making 100s on 1:30, its touch-n-go. I'm hoping that if I suffer for a few months I will get faster. Fingers crossed.

Great job! I had noticed you were moved over to the big kids' lane! :); March 12, 2009 at 10:33 PM

Moving up to the faster lane is intimidating, I'm sure, but you will get faster and fitter there. Bonus question: does this mean you're out of QB's lane?; March 13, 2009 at 8:11 AM
