I think I'm starting to adjust to the new angle of the Earth with respect to the sun, and the associated changes in weather and light levels.

Back in the pool, Tuesday's mile (1800 yards, rather) came in around 26:30, and last night's just under 25 minutes. I'm shooting for 24, and trying to get my 500 under 6 minutes. I have no idea why. Something to do.
