Another Day at the Gym, Another Swim

Hit the gym for another swim. Used a work-out not of my own devise. The 200 yards of drills included 4 x 25's of seeing how few strokes I could use to go the length of the pool, alternating with the closed fist drill. The sets of freestyle were done with 15 seconds rest in-between. The kicking included 50 yards of sidekicking, 50 yards of frontkicking w/hands at sides, and 50 yards of frontkicking w/arms extended forward. Unlisted is the true end of the workout: 8 minutes in the hot tub.

In total, almost a mile. Not too shabby for the amount of exertion it required. Swimming is definitely my favorite discipline to practice at the moment, as the gains are so significant. Running feels like I'm working just to get back to where I was at, and it's hard to get motivated to get on the spin bike for some reason. I still have a long ways to go, but I'm definitely feeling improvement. Hopefully this continues.
