Week 9 eclipsed the two month mark and saw a shift away from weight-training in favor of jogging. The weights were feeling heavier but the jogging was easier than previously, and I saw that as an opportunity worth seizing.
So I primarily swam and jogged this week, and as a result got my best swimming time, my furthest ever jog, and my lowest weight since starting.
I'll keep this approach for another week or so and then reintroduce weights.
I've also started sitting on an exercise ball at work in an attempt to strengthen my core and forestall potential back problems (i tend to sit with terrible, shameful posture). So I sat on this ball all day yesterday and didn't like it. My back was sore - i don't know if it was just muscles that weren't used to being used, or if the weight going down through my spine is just a bad way to sit. I'll do it again today and see how it goes.
