The Grown Ups Pool

Up until now I have done my swimming exclusively in the 25m indoor pool. In years gone by I have tried swimming laps of a 50m pool and found it too hard.

This morning I decided this must change. I had planned a soft session of around 500-1000m, and when I got to the pool I went to the deserted 50m pool.

Well, these days I am fitter and lighter than I was in the past, so after some initial discomfort in the early laps I managed to do 20 laps (at a very slow place) without any resting. I felt pretty good throughout.

Knee report: Good in the morning, got through a 45 minute walk with the dogs, but started feeling pretty crappy after that. I think stretching makes it worse.
