Wow!I'm loving swimming with my waterproof iPod programmed with a "swimming Playlist" of BPM that give me some "sprinting" and paces that work for me. No more counting... just being present with the music and the water.
Yay! Glad to see another join the music facilitated SPM/ BPM team :-)

This will be the only day I get to the pool because of the holiday break, so I made good use of it and did and extra 1/4 mile: 63 laps (3,150 yards) 1.78 miles0
-
After ten days of travel and conference, I was excited to get back in my "home" pool yesterday. So excited that I forgot my goggles and had to go back to the locker room to get them after the first 50.
3000 yards in 71 minutes, slowish pace and crowded pool on a crisp and sunny morning.0 -
Yes I did - 1 mile in 50 minutes, which is great for me. Used my new fins and I felt soo fast :-D1
-
Yes, a mile. I think it was in 51 min. I did Ms J's workout and added 10 laps. Nice quiet pool today
I love holiday weeks! 1 -
I love Monday evenings. The crowd is light. Tonight it was 3 people in 6 lanes; and my start and finish was all by myself.
1650 in 45 minutes, and the first time in a REALLY long time it was all freestyle with 69 uninterrupted flip turns.0 -
Nice empty pool this morning (two to a lane only for most of it). 250m warm up, 2km free and 250m cool down. 55 minutes.0
-
Sticking with the empty pool theme, that was how mine was too. The whole lane to myself for the entire swim. When I got out, nobody was in there at all. I know that lasted only a few minutes because I passed another swimmer heading in as I headed out.
I swam about an hour, mixed sets and strokes with some drills and kicking with fins. A total hodgepodge but it felt good.
I'm off to Seattle, Washington for a week so no pool for me until probably next Thursday. For those of you who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving! For the rest of you, swim on and throw in an extra lap for me. 1 -
@mpeters1965, welcome to the PNW!! Bring your wooly socks
We're headed into a cold spell here in Portland. Best part is, it makes for sunny weather! Then again, that means taking time to dry my hair after a swim... 0 -

Packing up the woolies right now! I'm looking forward to some cold weather. Until just a few days ago, Florida was still in the upper 80's every day. After a long hot summer, I'm ready for a change. (and then to run back here in a week and thaw out!)1 -
Due to a wonky auditory canal all I can say is so Nauseous after about 4-6 flip turns.I love Monday evenings. The crowd is light. Tonight it was 3 people in 6 lanes; and my start and finish was all by myself.

A couple hundred miles North-West of you @girlwithcurls2 and at least 10-15 degrees colder - Heat wave coming our way this weekend.mpeters1965 wrote: »girlwithcurls2 wrote: »@mpeters1965, welcome to the PNW!!

1 hour of lessons tonight - probably 1100-1300 meters.
Hoping to go for a run after I have dried off as I need to get a few more long runs in as I have 3 races coming up, the Jingle Bell Jog December 13, the "Chilly Willy" Half Marathon on February 7, 2016 and The Hypothermic Half Marathon on February 21, 2015.0 -
I didn't realize how much I slacked this month! I swam tonight, 2300 yards including kicking with my new kick board I received for my birthday. When I synced my Garmin tonight, I saw that it was only my third swim this month! I've exercised in other ways-running, spinning, HIIT...December will be a better month. I need to get on track!
Happy thanksgiving to those of you in the US. Happy swimming to you all!0 -
A half hour swim before the cardio class. I always love getting some laps in. If nothing else, I get to practice being long, deliberate, working hard (in case class isn't too challenging). Tonight, I think the instructor worked us extra hard because we won't see her until Monday night. I hope I can put my socks on tomorrow...0

I am Thankful for having a pool to swim in year round, and from what I hear from all of you, the fact that I usually have a lane all to myself. Can't wait until Saturday... it's closed the next two days.1

Hi again all - sorry for yet more radio silence. Emma and AQ - I have been thinking of you both...more -hugs -
So I did at last get a swim in TUesday morning - also nice and quiet. Not thanksgiving related over here tho! It was my usual 1k 'Glassmills' routine, a mix up of all sorts of drills etc - 36 mins. So not bad after a 2 week health break.... It was good to be in the pool.
But I doubt I'll be in again this week. I'm back in bed again, whilst my daughter is at her swim class (!), recovering from the latest 'mum goes to hospital' adventures...hey ho.
Still I did buy that skipping rope (2 actually) and me and the daughter have been amusing the commuters skipping in the front garden in the morning. I can only get to 35 boxer style jumps in a row so far, and boy Oh boy does it get your heart going. An impact mat is on its way via Amazon - my shins already feeling this one!1 -
I didn't swim yesterday (took a day off) and today I traded my swim for a 5 mile run with my daughter and her boyfriend. A good start to a day of cooking, eating and sitting. The sun was shining and loads of people were out and doing the same thing. Super fun. Then the boy friend bought us coffee 0

Missed Wednesday and Thursday due to no sleep. Made it back in the pool this morning for a 2km crawl (42 mins) and and 250m cool down. Then I sat in the Jacuzzi to recover! I never did that in my old pool as the jacuzzi looked dirty, but the new gyms one is beautifully clean 0
