My own workout

 Today I got up and swam a little later than usual.  I was in the pool by 6:40am.  There wasn't a team practice, so I made one up on my own.  I had planned to do  a 600 warm up, but evolved into 2 400's.  Also, I was going to do 8x100's.  It makes me happy when I change workouts to increase yardage rather making it easier.

 Here is what I came up with.

400 Warm Up

400 50 Kick/50 Breast

8x50 build @:50 (alternating back & free)

12x100 @1:25 (I started by holding ~1:20 and ended up around 1:16)  You want :05 to :10 sec. rest on each

200 Cool Down

2,600 yards total

I should not have tried to do fast backstroke.  I felt it when my shoulder/back/neck muscle pulled.  It has been hurting so I am not surprised that it happened again.  I need to take it easy.  As soon as it happened, I started breathing every 4th stroke to the left.  That seems to help.
