On the shelf for a while

After a quick Friday swim (in the crosswise, short end of the pool, right next to the movable barrier (which I scraped my hand on - sheesh), I think I'm out of commission for a while because the alma mater is on winter break. If I can't swim for a month, I guess I'll have an ice cream cutback, but otherwise it is probably not the worst thing, shoulder-wise...

Happy Wednesday, medium Thursday

After a largely twinge-free 3,250-yard swim Wednesday, my shoulder's been whining off and on today, so I figured I'd let today slide and swim Friday.

I guess I shouldn't complain too much, but this is kind of annoying. Maybe six-days-a-week swimming at the outset wasn't the most prudent plan.

What a relief! Well, mostly

Monday is a short day at work, so I don't have to go back after swimming.

After a few days off - and with massage-lady intervention on Saturday - I figured two miles would not be any big deal. I thought wrong, of course, but I was able to get in about 2,700 yards with very little discomfort.

But the swim wasn't trouble-free. After 23 laps, I noticed a little twinge in my shoulder, and it pestered me on and off the rest of the swim. I finally called it good with about 10 laps to go.

Oh well. I haven't felt any after-effects, so I guess this is just a steady-as-she-goes kind of deal. Whatever that means.

Champing at the bit

am I... Swimming has been hit and miss, but I have new bruises to show the massage lady's had her say with my shoulder, so today I will get a swim in, come hell or 6-foot-deep water.

An easy Wednesday

These posts are all looking quite similar to one another. Wednesday, I just dropped through for a half-hour swim, nothing special. Mostly, I am looking forward to seeing the massage lady on Saturday - what a relief!

Saturday swim

Two miles, no problems.

On the other hand, my shoulder bugs me when I'm out of the water, frequently.

Maybe I need to set up a desk in the pool!
