During tonight’s swim workout I pondered the possible reasons a rubber glove was in my swim kit. I’m still pondering. If you can figure it out, or if you want the glove, let me know.
Although my back is still in pain, its not as bad as it was the last couple of days. Therefore, I decided to give a gentle swim workout a whirl. My plan called for some kick drills and speed drills, but for the sake of my back health I decided instead to focus on my upper body strength in lieu of kicking and stroke execution rather than speed. Total distance was only 1,500 meters tonight, but doing it gave me back (he-he … no pun intended) the confidence I needed to forge ahead with playing gradual catch-up.
