I surprised myself today by swimming 1,000 yards non-stop in 27+ minutes. This was only my fourth swim in the past two weeks after not swimming at all since May.

I have also walked 3.5-4 miles most days since mid-August.

I feel really good, but just can’t get rid of the last 10 “pred pounds”. Maybe the ongoing taper off pred will help. I’m three weeks into a planned nine-month process...
