I really impressed myself today. For the past few weeks I've been focusing on balance (side swimming) and mastering bilateral breathing, doing various drills. Today I decided that maybe I should alternate drills workouts with LSD (long slow distance). So, I got in the pool with the intention of doing 1000m FS. I ended up doing 1600m straight! Woo hoo!

I missed Masters today.
I had to go to a meeting last night and didn't get home until 10:45. I thought about getting up early to swim, but then I would not have seen my husband in a conscious state for almost 2 days. I slept in with him and we had coffee together instead.

I did mostly drills this week. It was actually kind of fun. I am slowly increasing my distance back up to where it was at the end of my race season, but I am not working on speed yet. I plan to wait a few more weeks before I start doing speed work.

I swam masters this AM.
Just when you think you're getting a bit better....you get your azz kicked. The main set went like this:
12x25 fly with fins
6x50 back
3x100 breast
1x200 free
1x400 IM
I had to do freestyle for the last 25m of my fly on the 400m IM. To keep from drowning. Eeeeeeekkkkk!! My shoulders are killing me.Living life like there's no tomorrow.
