Sunday January 3, 2010:
Feeling alittle worn from all the activities in the past week, I took a day off on January 2 to help me recover. I went to the pool this morning to attempt a couple of 1000m distance intervals.
When I was at my peak fitness back in the 90's, the set of 3x1000m swims with 1 minutes rest in between was a tough standard that I maintained, and a staple in distance swimming. It was an accurate way of measuring my stamina, so I kept with those sets frequently, even though sometimes they were a struggle to deal with.
Today, I hoped to do 2 intervals. And I did pretty well. I started off with an even pace and kept a good stroke throughout. The time for the first 1000 was 15:18. The second set was even nicer, as the arms were a bit looser than in the first set. I finished strong with 15:15.
Not bad progress. I'll take it. :-)
