This morning’s swim was good. I started by swimming 6 laps at a time without resting. After the 1st quarter mile I checked my heartrate. Itwas approximately 160. I thought I might be able to go more, so I thought I’d try for 8 laps on the next quarter mile. I swam 8, and thought, “Wow. I can do more. Maybe I’ll try for 10″ in the middle of the 8th lap. So I swam to 10, and thought I could do even more. I decided to see if I could make it the full 18 laps, 450 yards, ~1/4 mile. I made it! When I checked my heartrate, it was again approximately 160. Apparently I’ve found a good rate of swimming. I then did my final 1/4 mile all at once. It was great. I feel like my body is remembering how to be active. My time for the 1/4 mile was 11:07 and 11:20.
Good swim!
