Days: 23/20

Finally checked out the pool at my gym today and swam for 35 minutes... and it was exhausting!

I did a few regular laps freestyle, then 20 laps with the kickboard only, then 10 laps with the leg float thing to focus on the upper body, then a few laps backstroke to finish up, and I'm more tired now than I was after the 10K yesterday! It just goes to show how changing up the activity can be good and challenging... apparently I need to swim more often.

I hope to still get in some strength work tonight if I have the energy (upper body only; my knees need a break!), and then tomorrow I'm going to try out that 5.5 mph run to finish off the month.
