Swimming: Day 7

Swimming: Day 7

Swam a mile in 49:42 which is a 0:38 improvement over yesterday. I was on the verge of taking the day off; one of my wrists wasn't too happy after doing weights yesterday; and I definitely didn't do weights today. Hopefully it'll feel better tomorrow because it definitely slowed me down a bit today. Also, the tendons on the front of my shins right at my feet were sore.

I ordered a water-proof stopwatch from Amazon. As it is, I have to count laps and remember my starting time (there's a big clock on the wall), which is sometimes problematic. This should help.

Also, Finis - the same folks who make the underwater mp3 player - make this cool thing called a Lap Track, which attaches to the side of the pool - under the water - and you tap it every time you do a lap and then you can review your lap times afterwards. Pretty cool stuff. Once my swimming is less pathetic, I'll probably grab one. My swimming prowess only justifies a $10 stopwatch at the moment.
