Not really running but it's rest day activity

Since I ran last night and the weather here is lovely, 33 degrees or so, instead of hiding in the gym and going on the cross-grained, I jumped in the open air pool.

It had just opened and was empty, I was doing batches of 8 lengths instead of the usual 6.

I didn't really pay much attention to time, it's a non work day for me and it's weekend here but I had my Garmin set to swim which is a good job because once I start swimming it can be the same as running, I loose track of number of lengths, time, etc, because I'm normally so relaxed when swimming and running.

Anyway, had a decent swim, 1050 meters.

Hopefully tomorrow is run outside day with Mrs LeeU.
