Migrating from Blogger to WordPress: posts imported

I’ve imported all the Blogger posts from “Random Thoughts” over to my personal blog on WordPress, “If Not Now, When?”.

There’s still quite a bit of editing to do: the tags come over as categories and all intra-blog links need to be changed to their equivalent WordPress links. The biggest job, though, is re-saving all the images to WordPress, deleting them out of the articles, then re-importing them. However, I’ve started in a small way.

From now on, expect new articles to be here, on “Random Thoughts: If Not Now, When?

Swim workout, May 10

swimmer blowing bubblesLotStreetWiz woke me up at 7:00 this morning so we could go swimming at a the Settlement House community pool near Grange Park. He had a precise workout from his coach; I just wanted to practise and get in some distance.

My workout in 25-yard pool:

  • warm-up: (50 yd. breaststroke + 50 yd. front crawl) x 3 = 300 yd.
  • body-core rolling, 50 yd.
  • front crawl, 50 yd. x 2 = 100 yd.
  • kicking with flutterboard, 50 yd.
  • front crawl , 50 yd. x 3 = 150 yd.
  • cool-down: side stroke, 50 yd x 2 = 100 yd.

total, 750 yards (675 m)
Over the same period, LotStreetWiz swam 1700 yards.

Here’s a look around the pool. East wall:
