My swim workout today was great!  Although, I really need to get a better swimsuit so I don't have as much as drag.  I'd bet that eliminating the drag caused by my swimsuit would let me concentrate a lot more on my stroke.

I went to a 50 minute spinning class and was absolutely amazed by the workout I got!  I'm definetely making it part of my routine to go once a week with the goal of eventually going twice a week.  I also ran 5/7's of a mile afterwards.
