Swimming: Days 1 and 2
Day one: five laps with frequent breaks. Day two: eight, with less effort. A mile means thirty-two laps, so I have a long way to go, though at this rate of progress I'll be swimming many miles a day by month's end.
Yesterday I started my membership at a place with a 24/7 indoor lap pool. Heaven on earth.
I managed to struggle through 5 x 50 meter laps (250 meters) yesterday, taking frequent breaks. This evening I did 8 x 50 meter laps (400 meters) with much less effort, but still I took those frequent breaks. One mile is going to require thirty-two laps; so I still have a long ways to go. I'll start focussing on time after I can do the entire mile.
However, given my current rate of progress, I'll be swimming many miles per day by the end of the month. See my-new-favorite-xkcd for more information.
