I don't do down very well so I'm trying to get back into the groove.
Been swimming again today, pre-work and breakfast!
Managed 2km which was good but I started to flag at about 50lengths so the last 30 were a lot slower than they should have been. Took about 1hr.
My breast stroke and front crawl are almost the same pace, but crawl takes a lot more effort and leaves me shagged! So, just like my running, I'm a bit one paced so need to work on pace.
I think if I can do some weights this will work as my upper body strength is pathetic really!! Also will try to do some drills with a float or pull bouy as I am sure that will make a difference.
Plan this week:
long swim today
short swim tomorrow + munchtime plod
long swim Wednesday
munchtime plod Thursday and/or Friday
Will continue to read my book on weights and try to get a routine in and do that a couple of times a week.
May even get on my exercise/bike!

hoping to get out and do something myself this week, if this persistant cough *ever* goes away!
No point sulking - i don't sulk well!

(you'll definitley being doing a tri later then!!)
The drills idea sounds good - like intervals/hills in running. It's all good exercise and will pay-off with your running when you get back there. No rush, enjoy what you're doing.
