Day 1 of "mandatory distance" training

This week won't be much of a deviation from what I have been doing (except that I'm not allowing myself to have any "oopsies".  It is mandatory that I swim minimum 12,400 M-F and then 14,100 on Saturday! )

12,000 - 6 x 2000 (even no equipment, odd pull) on 29:00- 29:30 depending on whether take drink or not.
600 - 100 back, 500 kick no fins, 100 back


12,600 yards total (7 miles)


No shoulder or back issues.  I focused on a smooth and effortless stroke  Did the full workout in 3:10

How do you find all the time during the day to swim that much? Do you ever sleep? And you have 7 kids! I've got a little more than half that many kids and I'm lucky to get 1-1.5 hours per day...

I'm up at 4 and swim till almost 9 am.

So I'm gone when the kids get up but usually around for them in the evenings.
