8/27 - 9/2

Each week the shoulder has been feeling more normal, and this week it did also. I still am not sure if it will ever be truly like new, but I am happy beyond belief to be able to swim at all. Monday, I hit the pool for

1,000
300 (ncd - new countdown - based on 50s instead of 25s)
400 ncd
4 X 100 small paddles
6 X 50 medium paddles
total: 2,800 meters.

On the bench, it was

15 X 75
12 X 95
8 X 120
5 X 130
4 X 135
2 X 140
4 X 135
5 X 130
14 X 120

Tuesday, Trevor and I lifted after I stopped by twin Rivers for

2,200
6 X 100 @ 2:30 medium paddles
total: 2,800 meters.

Wednesday it was

3 X 400
400 cd mwith 25s
400 easy
400 cd with 50s
400 easy
400 small paddles
total: 3, 200 meters.

Thursday, Trevor and I lifted for the third time after I swam 

2 X 500
600 small paddles
total: 1,600 meters.

Friday is free day so I got in the pool after the ladies aerobics left and swam 5,000 meters straight in 1:45 @ 2:06. This is my new longest since June of 2017. I felt pretty good and threw in some pickups along the way.

Saturday I opted for the indoor pool because a few kids were in the big one. I did

1,200
6 X 25 @ :45
400 small paddles
6 X 50 @ 1:00 medium paddles
100 easy
6 X 25 @ 1:00 large paddles
150 easy
total: 2,500 yards = 2,285 meters.

Saturday was the first time I had swum with large paddles since the injury. Naturally I was cautious, but everything felt OK.

For the week, I swam 17,685 meters, lifted weights four times, and ambulated 4.24 miles. The 17,685 is the most distance for a week since June of 2017. I even lost a little bit of weight and feel like I finally have that going in the right direction. Thank you, Jesus.
