48-ish minute swim, Sprint Friday, 12-3-21

I have been remiss in uploading my swim workouts. Also, December and January have been slim on the workouts, but I'm getting back in the pool. All of these will be back dated to the days I swam them. I probably won't comment that much as I'm just trying to upload...

55-minute swim workout, back and free stroke technique, 12-2-21

The pool looked very inviting today, but the water temperature was 75 degrees chilly. The pool was pretty empty, but, as you can see, I swam anyway. It'd have to be a lot colder than that although maybe tomorrow I'll bring my wetsuit. 🤪 55-minute swim workout,...

50-minute swim workout, Wednesday mid distance, 12-1-21

Another month, another swim. Of course, this month will probably be fewer swims than last month and less yardage. I think I'm okay with that. LOL November was a little crazy. For the main set, the even swims are the focus. (e.g., the second 100 is faster than the...

Hour swim workout, SCAQ Tuesday, 11-30-21

Coach Rada delivers again with another interesting, challenging, and fun workout. I've gotten in a rut with my own workouts. This was inspiring. Hopefully, I'll keep this interesting workout going tomorrow. Oh, how many yards have I swam the month of November? Well,...

50-minute swim workout, Monday backstroke long course, 11-29-21

Long course isn't getting any better. I know I must be patient, but . . . it's hard. LOL Still, I showed up and got in, which is better than staying home. (grin) As you can tell by the intervals, I wasn't swimming that fast. Matter of fact, the backstroke was...

Hour swim workout, Sunday SCAQ long course, 11-28-21

I usually enjoy long distance workouts. Not today. It was no fun. I was feeling slow, the water was cold, by the end of the workout, my knee was trying to lock and my calves were trying to cramp, and I just wasn't having a good time. Of course, I finished it, but . ....

45-minute swim workout, Saturday swim, 11-27-21

I woke up late on Saturday. Literally, 15 minutes before I was supposed to swim. It takes 15 minutes to get there. I was out the door in less than 10. But I hate being late. Anyway, I still managed a decent swim. Not as many yards as I had hoped, but it was something....

Happy Thanksgiving, 11-25-21

A quick note to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We're eating with friends and family. It will be a fairly simple dinner as the desserts were made yesterday. May you have many blessings today and always.

Hour swim workout, SCAQ Wednesday, 11-24-21

My plan was to swim alone today, but I had my swim times mixed up. I thought I'd signed up for noon when, in fact, I'd signed up for 9 a.m. (I was baking these lovely cookies at 9 a.m.) Luckily, SCAQ has a Wednesday noon workout at this pool. I signed up on the spot...
