Been a while since I've posted, so whilst I have time, thought I may as well update...Still been working sat and sun so no exercise there, need a break sometimes.

Monday 9th March
Didn't do weights today as I wanted to check how my swimming would suffice with a good rest as per:

Tuesday 10thSwim!
Not particularly good considering the rest! Pretty annoyed really; times were as follows:6:16 / 6:45 / 6:57 / 2:40 totalling 22 mins 38 secs.... well, the rest didn't help me swim faster, so sack that off!

Wed 11th
Actually tried pushing myself on a bike ride for the first time in a while - just a simple run up a local hill climb, twice over, checking how my legs faired up and also my HR. was pretty hard work but certainly worth it, as it means I need to get out more!

Thursday 12th
Absolutely battered the weights tonight to make up for the missing day, and to see if my swimming would deteriorate from a hard session. Not going to list all details, but consisted of BP, Flyes, curls, chins, shoulder press, shrugs, rows, tricep extensions, delt raises and loads of ab work. A lot, but a good workout.

Friday 13th
So, the weights didn't stop me having a good swim! Achieved my fastest time yet, so there is hope for progression! Times:6:20 / 6:44 / 6:34 / 2:35, totalling 22mins 12 seconds! I do believe I can easily get under 22 mins now, and during the session, I did a lot more than normal too, probably swam around 2k in total. Also tested myself on the underwater length again and did it fairly easily! (30M).
