Monday I never got around to recording my swim workout. The last few weeks I have been working on endurance/aerobic swim workouts with lots of long sets. Monday I decided to mix things up and go with some shorter quicker sets to mix things up.

This was a tough workout. The 6 x 75 all fast about killed me. My legs were tingling and really taxed. It felt good to mix things up.

This morning I swam again. I started super nice and easy to get my blood flowing again after the brutal bike experience yesterday. I wanted to make sure I was ready to go. As the workout continued I felt better and better.

This swim workout really helped my body feel better. By the end I was back to feeling normal. I was not sure how I would feel after that 5.5 hour nightmare yesterday.
Today is my last day of summer. Back to school tomorrow so things will change and modify slightly as I don’t have as much time(which was not much to begin with) as I have had the last few months.
Time to spend time with the kids. Have a great day.
