I swam a mile today. Now I know that’s not a great achievement for a lot of people, but as a casual swimmer I’m actually quite pleased with myself, especially as I only intended to do 30 lengths.

Even now I’m feeling decidedly springy, which is the first step to waking up with rigid legs, particularly as that much swimming left no time for sitting in the steam room to loosen up.
