One mile per hour

As it turns out, that's about the speed I swim at, at least today. I never calculated my swimming in MPH before, but today i swam just over a mile in just under an hour. This was my longest swim ever by a fair bit. I was hoping to achieve 2 kilometers today, and do all my swimming for the week in one shot, but it got so dark that the navigational buoys were turning their lights on. I had a momentary cramp in my left leg part way through the swim, but it went away almost immediately, and I wasn't using my legs anyway (this swim was arms only). But, as I was heading in to shore, I had a cramp in my right leg that was so painful as to almost be disorienting. I wasn't afraid, mostly because I was pretty close to shore and wearing so much neoprene that drowning was basically impossible, but I was confused. Why would my leg, which I hadn't really been using at all for an hour, cramp up so badly?

I've said here, several times, that swim days are days of accomplishment. But those have all been days where I went swimming, and then got a bunch of stuff done afterwards. Today, I got a lot done at work before I came home and went for the longest swim of my life, and even filled a jug of water on the way home. Then, I talked on the phone with my dad for an hour, went for a significant walk, and washed all my swimming gear. My dinner was a craft beer and a cold can of beans, and I've rarely felt better. Both of my pairs of non-running shoes are wet and drying out by a vent, which is the reason (excuse?) that I'm not sleeping on the floor tonight.

I've been going strong with 100 reps each of pushups, situps, and bodyweight squats; I think this will be week 5 or 6. It's time to think about what's next. It's also high time to think about goals. Should I be focusing on body fat percentage? Total body weight? Something else?
