A stack of indications

That tomorrow will not go as originally planned. My fitness tracker broke (thanks, Garmin). My knees felt rather sore after this morning's run. My work schedule tomorrow precludes swimming before work unless I swim in open water in pitch dark.

Tomorrow was supposed to be a swim, and Saturday a run. Given the stack of difficulties, I'm going to not train tomorrow, and substitute a swim for the run on Saturday. I've been generally pleased with my running improvements, but swimming should get more attention. My last swim was a bit over 1,200 strokes continuously. Absent a coach, I'm focusing more on physical endurance and confidence in the water than form. Assuming that each stroke while dragging a load results in half a meter of travel, I need to build up to 3,000 strokes. It turns out that simply wearing my wetsuit while going to the beach works fine. Changing only at home is simpler, and requires less space in the bag.

As of this morning, I'm still well under 183 pounds. I think that three or fours weeks of keto will see me stable at or around 180.
