Thanks Cheshire!
I swam a mile again today. A little faster than yesterday, so that was nice! Right now I'm swimming it in 1/4 mile segments, so my next goal is to get to 1/3 mile segments.0 -
Nice work all! No swimming today but I went to the beach and walked along the shore with a friend and got my feet wet! Almost up to the knee a few times. That counts, right? Also, I forgot sunscreen so I have a bit of a sunburn.
We have one of those tris at my YMCA. I'm still not going to "tri" it though. Running and biking are just not really my thing.
Laura - I love saying "I swam a mile". It never gets old, frankly. A mile work out that I like is the "broken mile". Do a warm up swim. 5 minutes or so. Then swim (in yards) these sets with a 15 second rest in between each - 275, 250, 225, 200, 175, 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25. Subtract 2 minutes 30 seconds from your total time for all sets to get your "mile" time.
Stephen - growing up is totally overrated. It happened by mistake when I wasn't looking.0 -

Welcome back to swimming bccp!!!
Thank you! Been swimming 8 days on the run, I feel really strong in the water and my time has dropped to 51 minutes per mile. Onwards and upwards!

That's fantastic! I think I'm over my mental hump and ready to just keep swimming. I tried again last night to see if I could get 500 yards in before class. I lost count of my laps! I think it was between 500-700. I'm not sure. But I was thrilled. Again, I stopped because class began, but it's so nice to know that I can just swim. I would have kept going, but the class is an 11 week summer progression, working on core strength, upper body strength, and cardio through intervals. I've noticed a difference, so I want to continue. Besides, the people are great, and the instructor is so knowledgeable.
Great swims, people!0 -
Didn't get to the pool before work today. Finger crossed that lightening won't stop me from swimming after work.
Got to bed way to late.
I wish I had pried myself out. Could have dropped a couple more water pounds before the weigh in at the doctors office 0
