Decided this is the best way to keep track of my swim progress after trying google docs, calendar, and wave. I'll post how I did with respect to each workout. If you are a more advanced swimmer you can check out the workouts at http://fsuswimclub.org. My workouts are mostly for beginners, since I am one myself.

Went to Dr. Bill (physical therapy). He massaged my "ropey" inner thigh (sounds like a porn novel beginning but I assure you it isn't) and said it was the worst case he had ever seen. The unevenness was clear, with my right thigh being tighter than the left. Today was the last of my 4 insurance sessions. My next 3 sessions will be out of pocket and charted at 15 minutes instead of the normal 30 minute sessions. That will cut my cost in half, from $140 to $70 a visit. Hopefully I can get some TMH "foundation" funding.
Did pretty good with yesterday's beginner workout. Clicked on a random link at fsuswimclub and am going to try the intermediate.

Spent all day at work looking up Arduino projects. No motivation to work on my filesystem. Stuck on getting motivated to mess with recursive string parsing in C, boring, tedious, and ugly. It's a relatively nice day out, a little cool, but nice. Going to go swim now.

Post game report:
Swam most of the workout! Did 3 x 200 instead of 3 x 300 and only did 4 x 100 instead of the prescribed 6 x 100. The shorts seemed to help in reducing the drag. It seemed to take less strokes to cover the same distance and my side breathing got really good at the end.
