On Wednesday, I although I was still a ways away from feeling anywhere near 100%, I was feeling well enough to start back on some swimming intervals. The near weightlessness of swimming actually provides a bit of a break for my back, and the twisting motion helps with blood flow. At least - I think it does.
On 6/3 I did six intervals, the first two at a power setting of 70, followed by four at a power setting of 60. I just didn't have the strength to continue with four more intervals at a setting of 70. All intervals were for two minutes, followed by a minute of rest in between.
On 6/5 I did six more intervals, but this time I was able to keep the power setting at 70 for all six intervals. Once again, the intervals were for two minutes, followed by a minute of rest in between. It was good news for me to be able to maintain the power setting at 70 for all intervals - while I'm sure I lost a step with two weeks of inactivity, it was encouraging to see the rate of bounce back.
