Weekly Reflections and Focus

Well this week is the last week I'd consider coasting and was ready to get serious. I had a great swim. I mean a mile in 35 ish minutes - for me that's solid. I have been realizing that I am an over-glider. Concentrating too much on form and forgetting about propulsion. I had been swimming too much not focusing on swimming right above my waist. I have been reading about swim form and other things and been learning some of the subtle things that are holding me back. I am truly encouraged by last weeks 100 splits. My runs were solid. I was at home remote and not traveling so I was able to do a few runs that were good. Time has moved on and I am not able to recall I wanted to write. So moving forward. All I know is the laceration has disrupted activity.
