I hit a few milestones today. First, I actaully was swimming alone at DDH for about 15 minutes today in midafternoon. Nobody else in the pool..just me. Second, because the swim team has an away meet tonight they don’t practice, so when I thought I would have to get out of the pool at 3:20 turned into another 15+ minutes of swimming because I wanted to enjoy the entire pool to myself. SO, I actually ended up swimming 1400yds today which is WAY more than I have gone so far in one day in the last two years of the swim challenge. Lastly, my arms feel like they are going to fall off.
1250 today at the Mennesota Valley YMCA (yes, in the state of Minnesota.)
I totally felt like a real swimmer b/c the lifeguard asked me to dive to the bottom of the 12′ deep pool to retrieve a piece from an elderly gentleman’s goggles. Then, it was crowded & we had to circle swim… Someone said to me: “please, go ahead, you’re faster.” (hee, hee)
1100 at DDH this evening with Miriam and a really nice dude who was fricken inspiring. (heart surgery, kidney transplant…he said: I’m trying to get back into shape!) I feel good today…tired but good. Swwwweeeeettttt….
900 at the Mac this afternoon. I was tired from my run and my shoulders hurt and my goggles were leaky. Kind of a whiney day But still, 900 in the books! 10 more days!
A slow and steady 1640 at the Mac this afternoon, a bit tired & sore overall. It’s fun to have this challenge and make it to the pool, would not have gone otherwise : – )
