I swam last night in the $8.48 per swim pool. It's a nice new pool with many lanes, starting blocks, and a deep end, but it's about 15 miles from home vs. my local pool which is a couple blocks down the street. We'll see how the local pool looks after the cleanup work.

I did as many 6 minute hard efforts as I could fit before the pool closed (about 45 minutes worth) after a 5-10 minute warm up with one 50 of arms only and one 50 of legs only inbetween each set.

Probably going to start OWS this week, even if I just go to the public beach and swim in the swim area - it's the same water and is close to shore so it'll be warmer and won't require a kayaker, but it will be like pool swimming in that the area is only so large so I have to do laps.

GLC, it gets easier every time, just stick with it. Congrats, Susan, on your super-huge improvement!
