1 hour 37 minutes total exercise today. 35 minutes total on the treadmill. 102 minutes total swimming before and after work. The water is so hot it's like swimming in a giant bathtub. 98 degrees is great for relaxing, but not so good for exercising. I don't think it can be very healthy to exert yourself in water that hot. When I got out of the pool my heart was racing and I was bright red. On a tangentially related note, why is it only the swimsuits I really loathe last forever. The ones I reasonably like disintegrate so fast. Had to throw out one I liked last week, and the cheap, ugly one I bought strictly because I needed another one to swim in, the one that is exposed to the most chlorine, that I would never be seen in public in, looks just like it did when it was new.
