First swim this year (in about 10 or 11 months in fact!).

Well I finally did it and got my butt back in the pool.
Not idea after a heavy chest workout but that is just the way the week turned out.
OK - The Good - The Bad - The Ugly of my foray back into swimming.

Good: My hip pain from yesterdays speed session is gone after my swim.

As it took me sooo long to learn to swim (my late 30's) and it was something I had wanted to do for ever I still get a kick out of the fact I can actually swim now!

Just love being in the water.

No rotator cuff pain at all which is a good sign especially after a chest workout.

The pool at Pakenham is beautiful and clean and still very new looking.

My breathing was good, my times were not appalling as I expected.

I didn't swim like a rock after my break.

The Bad - tired upper body made it less enjoyable than it could have been.

The Ugly - Public pool showers - nuff said.

So all in all it was much more good than bad and I'm looking forward to adding a couple of swims to my weekly training again.

SWIM: 24 min

Mainly drills with some 100's thrown in.

100's sitting around 1:48 at a comfortable pace

25's sitting around 18 sec pushing it just a little.

Also did a CHEST / LEGS Workout: 1 hr

Got some compliments on my push-up form at the gym - was ok but I really don't like talking to people when I am working out!
