Levy Loop/Hays Center/Levy Trail

My heel barely hurt this morning as I walked the Levy Loop in 29:20. If it had felt this way under normal circumstances, I would've noticed it, but been unconcerned.

Goddamn, man, this swimming is hard. I guess I counted correctly the other day, because I did 1000 yards at the Hays Center this morning in 26:16. My pulse rate was 160 beats a minute when I finished, which is probably within fifteen beats of my max, and I swear to god, I was going as slowly as I could go without sinking.

This afternoon I walked the Levy Trail in 31:59.

"You know, I was just thinking, 'What kind of dumbass motherfucker's walking right down the middle of the fucking street, parallel to a fucking sidewalk.' And then I was like, 'Oh, right. Fucking Perkins.' "
