Speaking of Mac and his one more Lap mantra, @Macstraw Are you still swimming?. Haven't seen you around the forums for a few months - Hope everything is good in your life.

1100 30:50 Lazy workout.

Now that Comment I understand. Still a GB in the Jar.

I am trying to use loonies and twonies to help build an " Emergency Holiday Fund " = any excuse for a trip somewhere new. ( 13.1 mile / 21.1 km Half Marathon in Iceland ? followed by a swim in the Blue Lagoon )

I had the Hiccups today when I started - By the time I broke through them it felt like I had been coughing from a bad cold until my Rib Cage hurt - tomorrow should be fun.

Now that we are going into Winter I expect to get less days on the Outdoor Wilderness Trails during the week and more Pool Time due to the limited hours of daylight.
One of my Favorite Trail areas along the Local River Bank Hills - Semi Desert - Bald Prairie and Forest Eco-systems all in one small micro-climate area about 10 km by 6 km ( ~ 6 m x 2 m ).

Nope. Incident at work where I got slammed into a door frame by an angry person. On my bad shoulder of course! Jarred all down my spine and can't turn head to the left so will be dry land for me for at least a few days

Emma, hope you recover fast.

I was on the Outer Banks of North Carolina last week. Up near the Virginia border where they still have a herd of wild horses running around.

Yesterday was another unintended rest day. I need a good exercise I can do at the house for days when I don't have any client appointments. On days when I don't otherwise HAVE to leave home it gets very tempting to go into hermit mode and put off gym, shopping, errands, etc.

I swam 2150m in 61 minutes today, 28 sprint lengths, mixed strokes.

In other news, at my weigh-in tonight I officially crossed the line into 'overweight' instead of 'obese' ...

@nuffer, that swim sounded really nice. I miss swimming outside, but they only have a few outdoor pools around these parts, and they shut them down around Labor Day.

@emmab0902, yikes!! I hope that your shoulder recovers quickly. No wonder you swim. You need a strong core if you're going to be thrown about at work!

@stephenrhinton, THAT sounds like a gorgeous place. Sea swimming? Wild horses? I'd love to see that part of the country one day. And CONGRATULATIONS on leaving obesity behind!!!! You have literally worked your butt off for this!

A short swim for me. I was dragging my feet getting to the pool because my swims have been so crappy lately. I played the victim (poor me, and surely the lanes will be crowded at this time, I forgot how to float...) and then my short swim was OK. Empty lane (?) and OK body positioning. The cardio class that followed was challenging again. The class I like is taught by a PT, so she's really good. But good grief. There's nothing like a hard water workout followed by another day in the water though... (with trips to the hot tub after class of course!)

11.5 km run yesterday = dragging my legs today.
1000m
250m Breast
250m Back
500m Crawl
@stephenrhinton Congratulations on your success in leaving obesity behind
@emmab0902 Feeling your pain- Heal up fast girl. Work in a similar building, different profession - just not dealing with the " special guests".

2700 yards in ~72 minutes.

Tuesday: 2.5 km 56 min
Wednesday: 2.5 km 57 min
Thursday: 2.5 km 56 min

2600 yards 70 minutes. Two laps short of my regular 1.5 miles. 6:30 am. Yuk.

Stephen good job on the weight loss journey. Great achievement!
Emma do you ever lose a race? Lol
Someone asked about Mac. I think he hada foot injury that's kept him out but hopefully he'll be back soon!

I did. 45 minutes mixed sets.
Damn, Stephen, way to go! 150 lbs.?!? Stellar.

@AquaticQuests That's for the little update on Mac, You said it best about that Southern Lady Winning races. I tip my hat to @emmab0902 and her great accomplishments and workouts. Makes mine seem pretty weak.
@mpeters1965 Congratulations on straight 45 mixed sets. I will do different swim workouts, sometimes straight crawl at Triathlon Race pace, The B's(Breast and Back) or Mixed sets just to change things up. Looking forward to Nov 8 the start of the next winter session of lessons.

Noon Hour swim today - The B's. 250m Breast, 250m Back, 50m Kick and repeat.
@stephenrhinton Congratulations - great accomplishment- Your Doctor must be pretty happy with your accomplishments. Hope your family and friends have been supportive through this journey.
You should do a search and look back at some of your very first posts on MFP just as a way of seeing how much your changed in your interactions. Time to change your Profile Picture showing the before and after merged. its something that I should do.
