Day 16

30 laps, all but two freestyle!  A new record, and a great start to week 4.

That's nearly triple what i did on my first day of swimming 3 weeks ago.  So I'm making great strides (or strokes, or whatever the aquatic equivalent of striding is).  I am quantitatively improving, but am still frustrated by my lack of aerobic fitness and the frequency with which i have to stop to breathe.  It'll come.

I do feel it in my muscles more than before - i think the improved technique comes with greater muscle demand.  I wonder if that's why my recent lifting days have been so hard on my arms and chest recently -- they haven't been getting as much of a break.

I am up to 177 total laps swum since inception, which is just over 5 miles!
