I've been working out with the age group/high school team in the mornings. I'm off this week so I didn't have to leave practice early to go to work. Went 5000 yards--the last time I did that Jimmy Carter was in the White House. Overall felt pretty good. Swam some fly, went 6:05 for a 500 free at the end of a distance set. Disclaimer--it took me two years to work up to this.

  • *** dog makes a very valid point though he forgot to add play pranks, tell stories, laugh till your belly hurts, and cuss ande PS sometimes I go more than 4,000 a practice but I'm just following orders. will that excuse work? Originally posted by TheGoodSmith People.... people.... people....... Remember, this is just Masters Swimming. If you are going over 4,000 a day in the pool, you need to get out of the pool and go home to your family. Hell, if you don't have a family, then get out and go home to hold the remote control. Holy cow..... that's serious yardage Rule of thumb: People who go more than 4,000 a day are usually under the age of 30 and swim USS. Let's stay focused here. We are old and we drink beer. John Smith
