It's not going to be as interesting as Ande's but I realized when I was powerlifting 10 years ago that this is the best way for me to track and evaluate my progress so here it is.
Today was a down day both mentally (no drive to be in the pool) and physically (right shoulder was hurting).
I think I over did it a bit this week as I raked about 12 lawn bags of leaves on Thursday. Plus I do not think that I am quite up to swimming 4x week.

500 w/u - I realized that my shoulder was not cooperating.
4x200 Free Descend on 3:00 - completed the first one. Then sat out the 2nd 100 of the 2nd and completed the third. Got out on the 4th and did some additional shoulder stretches to see if I could get the shoulder to play along. On a scale of 1 to 10, it was feeling about a 6.
100 Kick
150 pull
4x100 IM descend - 1st one OK. But on the 2nd Fly length my shoulder went to about a 3. So at this point I got out and iced it.
1400 in total
Not a very satisfying workout from both a mental and physical perspective but I'm going to rest it and come back on Monday and see how it feels.
