In other news, I am finally, finally going back to the gym. I've been a few times in the last couple of weeks. I'm aiming for Tuesday, Thursday, and one weekend day; so far I have not managed that but am ramping up.

I haven't been keeping good track of my running or biking time yet, and am mixing a lot of stuff in, partly because I'm trying to show J how the gym works (he has Never Ever worked out before this). But I have kept track of my swimming somewhat.

First time I swam, it was 500m in 15 minutes. (33.3 meters per minute)
Second time, 600m in 17 minutes. (35 meters per minute)

I just went and compared, and when I was triathlon training I was swimming much further -- 1150 m or so in a session -- but no faster -- about 32 meters per minute. That makes me feel good.
