Is this really a swim blog? I swam today, but most of the things I write about now are not swimming. Maybe I’ll change it from /swim to /somethingelse. Maybe I should figure out what to call it before I make any changes? No. I changed the theme today. I recently added a Strava widget that was wider than the text area of my old theme (the default wordpress theme) and it looked bad. So I updated the theme to something wider. I may change it again if I ever figure out what to call this blog.

I started questioning my use of Strava, at least for running. They just changed their activity details page for runs and it is so much worse than it used to be. I’m pretty upset about it. They used to show you where your fastest mile, two miles, 5k, 10k, 15k, etc. segments were for each run. They don’t do that anymore. That’s just one example of things that are worse now. They also changed how you navigate through each run on the map. It’s much worse. You can’t view your performance by distance anymore, only by time. Etc. I’m not happy about it.

Maybe I’ll go back to using RunKeeper for my runs. Maybe I’ll start using RunKeeper for my bike rides too? No, Strava hasn’t messed up the bike ride activities yet, and it’s still the best around. But I may start using both Strava and RunKeeper for a few runs and see which I like better. I have a hunch that it won’t be Strava anymore. I don’t think I’m alone in being upset by it either. This could turn out to be a big mistake for them.

But enough of that. It was a beautiful day today. I thought it was supposed to be cold, but it was 68 and sunny at lunch, so I had no choice but to swim. The pool was empty and I got to do my own thing.
