Swim, Gym and Vertigo

Quick post today.

The vertigo has hung on through the week. Worst in bed, turning over, especially onto my right side. Didn't want to miss the pool again. Swam 26 lengths (650 metres) on Tuesday morning, although the combination of rippling water and vertigo meant that standing in the pool was almost impossible - I kept losing my balance. The whole thing wasn't too pleasant but I loved being able to swim. Mildly strained the front of my inner right shin, by the knee, on the breast-stroke leg kick.

Worn out Wednesday and Thursday. Back at the gym this morning....
