Gaining confidence in the pool


I got in a nice little tempo run today with Run Club. 1.5 mile warm up, 3 mile tempo (sub 7 min pace, but not sure exactly how fast), 1.5 mile cool down. I'm still a long way from where I need to be, but its nice to be getting back in shape.

After the run, I went to the gym and lifted triceps and did some core work. Afterwards, I hit the pool. I'm still swimming slow and likely inefficient, but I'm gaining confidence. I'd been swimming freestyle and then doing breast stroke to catch my breath. Today, I swam 12 continuous laps freestyle. Its not much at all in the grand scheme of things (ie the ironman), but its giving me confidence moving forward.
