A small NSV for me!

I started my journey 30 days ago. On July 2nd, I joined a gym so I could swim....by far my favorite exercise. On the first day, I swam for 30 minutes and huffed and puffed at the end of every 25 yard pool length (I couldn't even make it a whole lap before I had to stop). At the end of my 30 minutes, I had finished 12 laps (600 yards) and my muscles were screaming. I have gone to the gym at least 3 times a week since then and slowly I felt I was getting stronger. Today, I was able to swim 20 laps (1000 yards) and at the end, I felt GREAT! I find myself being able to continue swimming at the end of my lap and don't have to stop to get my breath. I know that 1/2 hour to swim 1000 yards isn't a world record or anything.....but having the endurance to do it is amazing for me! I can't wait to see where I am in 6 months. The triathlon that I want to do next year is a lot closer!

That's very awesome to hear. If you keep at it you will be in perfect shape for your triathlon. It is small things like this that push you to want to do more, and seeing small successes helps to keep you going. Keep up the great work, and good luck on preparing for your triathlon!
