Friday - 3500 yard swim

Lane-mate asked if I was a navy seal and going for a personal best. Ha! More like a personal worst (at least since frosh year in high school) and I am so embarrassed at my slow pace. All a matter of perspective, I guess. Still, feels good to get in a workout, but man am I tired. Can't let another whole week go by without a swim or a ride.
