Back In The Pool After 20 Days Off Workout

The last time I went for a swim was September 1st!  I'm such a slacker!  Mind you I'm not really a slacker as I teach spinning, weight training, pilates and a bunch of other classes and do personal Sundaytraining 6 days a week.  I've been just too tired to swim.  But I decided to swim today.  Slept in to 8 and missed swimming with the gang but wanted to.  I just wanted to do my own thing.  Nothing to hard just something to push me to fatigue at the end but a steady paced workout.

Started off with 200 Swim then 200 Pull w/o Paddles.

5 :39.1 50 1:18
6 :38.8 50 1:17
7 :38.7 50 1:17
8 :39.7 50 1:19
9 :38.2 50 1:17
10 :39.1 50 1:18

14 :39.0 50 1:18
15 :41.0 50 1:22
16 :40.7 50 1:21

And that was it.  I was beat. My arms, shoulders, chest and back decided to call it quits.  I felt great and would have loved to swim more but didn't want to kill me since I haven't been swimming.  The pool temp was great.  I felt great.  I so miss swimming.  

S0. 2900 yards is not bad not great but not bad.  A start or restart, my 2000th restart of swimming.

I got a week to make this NOT the worst month of 2014.  I'll try and swim one day during the week and next Sunday.  2014 is turning to be the worst year for me swimming.  Well at least since I restarted swimming 10 years ago.
