I swam a very slow 45 minutes of drills and basics. But I'm just getting back in training after a few months off. Becoming reacquainted with my old friends the paddles is painful. :D

I usually do kicking and drills during a workout and not usually so much freestyle. Just felt like it that day. Tomorrow I will do an IM workout and Friday a breaststroke workout. They will be less yardage in 60 minutes - about 2700.
Oh boy I got to swim two days in a row!!!

Thought I was going to die about number seven in the IM set so I took an extra minute on number 6 or 7. I can't remeber which one. That is it until Monday.
Have a great day

Hey Sparx35, ...weren't you once a beginner too ? ....A newbie reading your post might feel rather unmotivated by the headup remarks ... I did make the pool today and completed 2500
