Back to working out?

I really hope so. Haa... Have taken such a long break from training that i can't even remember what a hard workout is. Went to the pool, did an 'easy' session. And that's such a lie. Coz i've come to realise tat every time i say easy session, it's only coz i'm lazy to push myself and not coz it warrants one because of recovery. Anyway, rather disappointing swim i must add. I have effectively dropped back to the same fitness level i had when i started training in December.
Anyway, no time to whine about it. One thing's for sure in training. I think easily summed up with these words. Mileage, mileage, mileage. Splits, splits, splits. Push harder, kick harder. Run harder. Keep that HR up!
As for today's workout, did 100m warm-up, 1.5k swim in like 39min. Then did 2*300 pull buoy 7.35 and 7.38. And then 100 cool down. Mileage is about there. Speed is horrid if you ask me. But what do i expect, have laid off swimming for a while now. Back to the grind i hope.
Anyway, why am i swimming when i'm doing army half in 3 weeks time. Hmmm.. curious. Target for next week's mileage in the swim is 8km while the run is 30km? Let's ease back into things!
