Over the last six months, I have swum quite religiously... I'd time myself over 2 miles once a week. But lately, I just can't stand going to the gym.
Perhaps because the weather has been so beautiful lately. Sure it's a bit nippy in the morning, but nothing beats a climb up the bluffs while watching your breath steaming in front of you. Then you reach the peak, overlooking the vast Pacific Ocean as dawn breaks above it. <sigh>

KSH- What is the Swim Workouts in a Binder?

anakiwa- There is a Masters swimming class at the pool across the street from me. I went there once and was just blown away by the pace. Even the slowest lanes were filled with serious swimmers. A friend of mine, who won his AG at the LA Tri uses that slow lane! I took one look and slunk away with my towel between my legs!

OTG- You know, I used to find swimming very relaxing. For some strange reason, it has transformed into "boring". I'm not sure why, it just has.
Chocolate? Well I don't like chocolate... I like hamburgers! (But I don't think the gym would like it if I tossed a Carl's Famous Star into their pool)
