I went for a SWIM!!!!

SWIM 400 yards in 10-13 minutes, 16 x 25y as planned
COMMUTE 7 miles

I had a moment last night in which I wondered if the LAF pool was 25y or not. In my mind, it was too small. I had a moment of anxiety about this. And all the drive to the pool I wondered what it was. I'm pretty sure now it's 25y. Whew.

The pool was all mine for all but the last 100. No music, no lifeguard, no noise. Just a wall of windows looking back into the gym, opposing another wall of windows looking out at Maple Rd. I wondered if those windows will be uncomfortably cold in a few months. 

I couldn't push off the wall or kick much with the ankle, it reminded me with a hit of mild pain. My neck was tight later, indicating poor form. My arms slipped ineffectively through the water (nothing new there), and my breath control was poor. But all this comes back with time.

I've read that habit-forming sometimes needs a simple "just go, even for 5 minutes" type of start. I was disappointed to see that my 400y swim only took 12 minutes (that includes the short rests at the wall) but I was happy I went!

I'd planned 20 mins of strength afterwards, but I didn't have time. I needed to be at work for lab meeting, and ideally before meeting to block an ELISPOT plate. If this were my lab blog, the title would be "I did and ELISPOT!!!" haha. 

No M today, stuck to goals and going for a 20:4 if not more. And really, it was 15 mins of swimming, so that's not really a workout.
