Today was a short, still-getting-back-to-it swim, because I'm babying the shoulder, lest I screw it up again. But still...man, I was slow.
Last March:
Now, my math skills aren't great, but a 3:03 pace over 100 yards seems a hell of a lot slower than a 2:51 pace over 100 meters.
I'm sure it'll be better when I can swim without worrying about the damage, but that doesn't help my ego.
Not super happy with my pace on the track, either. I can do better than this and not sure why I didn't.
I pushed it a few times, thinking I would shave a few seconds off, at least, but my HR shot up to150 so I wound up backing off. I need to get my pace to under 16 min/mile...something I don't think I've done since high school.
Seriously. Even when I was training in TKD and in really good shape, I was slow.
I'll get there. As long as I stay ahead of the balloon ladies at Tinkerbelle, it's good. And once I see the shiny things, chances are I'll start running.
And hey, I don't even do that for cake.

You are faster than I am!
Ditto to the comment above! A decent walking pace would be the best I could do. I can float in the pool but to a lap, pfft. I'd be gasping for air mid-way through.
A balloon lady would be an apt description for me. I like that one...it sounds so much better than old, fat and ugly. :)
