I decided this morning to swim a mile and a half. The first mile went smoothly, I spent it dealing with my head phones which wouldn't stay on and switching between the fast and the slow lane depending on the number of swimmers. At the end of the mile I felt great and figured I'd go ahead.

I did the next half mile with very little trouble, and by now the pool had cleared and I was splitting the fast lane with another swimmer. All was right with the world. Ended that half mile and still felt great so I decided to go for 2 ... Jack does it all the time so why not me ...

Well it all went ok but by the 1 and 3/4 I was pooped. I could barely get my arms out of the water for that last 1/4 mile, But I did it and though I didn't have any energy left - not even to walk over to the Jacuzzi I did have a nice long hot shower before picking Megan up at school.

I'll probably add the half a mile regularly but i'll keep the 2 miles for when I really want to kick my own ass.
