195.8 - Killer Swim

I'm starting to get obsessed with exercising. I want those two extra Cat's Challenge points for exercising for an hour straight! I think exercising for an hour straight might be my new standard. Today Zen had the day off, so I took advantage of it and went to the gym to swim laps. I challenged myself to do an entire mile, which I knew would take me about an hour. I did a mile in 51 minutes! Okay, I know that's still pretty slow, but I was excited because that's a much faster pace than I had since the last time I did any serious swimming, maybe three or four weeks ago. I complete the hour with 37 laps, about 1.156 miles per hour.
