I'm listening

One of the orders I received from Grayson at my last visit was to "Listen to your body".  I've been doing that, and my swims have been relatively short because of that.

Last night I stopped at the pool on the way home and did:

2000 - 4 x 500's - first swim, 2nd kick, 3rd swim, 4th pull all free using the strapless paddles.

The pulling wasn't hard on my shoulder at all.  Felt good

Then this morning I got up early and was planning on a 6000+ swim, but the shoulder said no and I wasn't about to push it.  Ended up doing:

1000  - 200 breast, 200 back, 200 free, 200 back, 200 breast
1000 kick - 600 with fins, 400 without
500 pull - shoulder started to say no about 400 yards into it.
200 back/breast

2700 yards total in 1 hour

Swimming with Goody at GSL this evening.  Aiming for face in free the first length, then breast coming back.
