It was windy and cloudy today...a perfect afternoon for a swim in an indoor pool. I usually don't plan ahead and bring a workout, today was no exception. I made it up as I went along, and once I got 2000 down, I was ready to go! It felt good to do a longer workout!! The last time I did 4000m was in March, pathetic! I need to do this more often. It's usually a time issue.

The swim felt good. Fly was a little sluggish but I pushed through. My right shoulder was started to get sore by the end. My forearms were burning a bit during breast-I love it!

The lane was a little crowded, but everyone was pretty friendly today. Sometimes I get annoyed that I know so many people at the pool and so many people recognize me, as one of the two blondes that swims there. But other times it's a reminder that I've established a bit of a life for myself here. Today I waved and/or said hi to at least 3-4 people, not counting the lifeguards! Baby steps.

4000m is some serious mileage, err, meterage.
