I did it!  Swam 650 yards on Saturday AM after I coached my masters group.  Felt great.  Just long, slow easy, with my swimmers checking it out.  Never occurred to me that I would have an audience!  

I know the first time in after a long absence can be deceptive, but I have to say that the element that made re-entry so difficult in the past was not there.  And that is shortness of breath.  Because the breathing was not a struggle I could really think about line and quality of movement.  For that I have Power Lung to thank.  And my good friend Jason for recommending it to me.

Plans include a swim tonight and one Saturday.  Must reign in the impulse to go too far too fast, so tonight’s swim will be 700 yards.  If I say it here, I will most probably keep it to just 700.

Nothing like “eau de chlorine”!
