Much needed massage

This morning I planned on doing a 12.5K swim, but ended up cutting it short because I realized that enough was enough and I needed a massage!  I was feeling some knots in my upper back that I had felt earlier but failed to get worked out.  Here's what I ended up doing today:

300 swim
300 - 6 x 50's swim
900 - 12 x 75's pull
500 - 4 x 125's IM
800 - 8 x 75's drill/swim/drill even, kick/drill kick/drill odd, 8 x 25's IM sprint
300 swim
200 - 4 x 50's swim/free
1200 - 3 x (200 pull, 200 free)
400 - 4 x 100's 50 drill/ 50 kick
1000 - 2 x (25, 50, 75, 100, 100, 75, 50, 25) :15ri

Then repeat up until 1/2 way (8 x 75's)
Then called the massage place for an appointment.  Only had an 11:30 available, so I had to back the rest of the prescribed workout, to do:

2000 pull strong

10,700 yards total in 3:00

The massage was awesome!  Definitely got the knots worked out.  However, I felt like I needed to be more proactive so I set up an appointment for next Saturday.
