500m at the pool
Had a mild cold or allergies last week so didn't exercise :(
Until today. Swam 500m at the pool. Pretty fast, some breaks, felt great.
Oh - and it was sunny out! So nice.

A quick 600m at the pool.
Swam 600m. Got to 250m without stopping and the whole swim was faster again than last time. Yay.

First swim in a long time
Swam 8 laps at the pool in about 15 minutes. With a half-size olympic pool of 25m each way, that's 400 meters.
By comparison, a few years ago I was up to 1k. So a ways to go.
Back and arms are feeling it already, but feels great.
