Finally got the benchmark for the swimming done tonight… I must say, watching movies on my couch sounded like a much better idea but that won’t get me closer to being where I need to be, right?

So, tonight’s swim was 24:45 for 1000 metres (1km).

Considering I haven’t swam in a very long time (other than last weeks disjointed swim!), I’m happy with that timing. I didn’t push it as I didn’t want to hurt anything but, I’m content with the timing.

I just looked back at some of my old swim times and to give you an idea, the day I was injured with my hip? I swam 1000 metres in 28:30  (with the injured arm and by the end of the swim, a very injured hip).

I had done another swim in January of last year, and got about 24:30. Since then though, I’ve lost my cardio and my strength…

The record at the base for the injured folks was 21:30 and that was a guy who was a competitive swimmer! So, I’d like to beat that time.

Anyways, tired tonight. Tomorrow is a busy day… planned is a quasi-run and/or weight training as well as a physio — one of my last ones! Very excited…
