Busy Busy

I've been crazy busy the last few days but I've managed to get in a 1 hour pool workout each day. Considering the sheer number of hours I've been working I'm really proud of myself that I always make exercise a priority. I've been swimming about 3,000 Long Course Meters per workout. I'll be stepping it up to around 3,500 to 4,000 in the coming weeks. I did my typical 3,200 meter workout yesterday and chose to do an "all-out" 100 Back at the end from a push (no dive). I was sore from weights and dryland workouts but managed to hit the wall, look up and see a 1:04. The 100 Back LCM is one of my benchmarks. This is literally the fastest 100 Back I've ever done in practice. I was very happy to see such a fast time at the end of practice! I've been balancing my workouts well with kicking, pulling and paced swimming. I love practicing by myself and I know I'm making good progress toward my goals.

I have my 5k Run coming up soon, I wish I was in better shape for it, but I'm sure I'll do fine, those strollers always intimidate me though!
