Thanks! I'm working on it!

Thanks!

I'm new here, and I'd like to join in if I may. Name: Marki My Numbers: SW: 341 CW: 341 GW: 335 LTGW: 160 Weigh ins: Saturdays 5/3/19 = N/A 5/10/19 = 338 5/17/19 = 5/24/19 = 5/31/19= (Final weigh in for the month.) Total WL/G for the month=3

I got up early this morning and was at the gym by 7:30. The pool is very quiet on Sunday morning. I swam for 1:15 and did a mile. I kept losing count of my laps, so I may have done even more laps than I thought.

I logged another half mile today. I normally do elementary backstroke, but today, I mixed it up a bit. I did some elementary backstroke, some normal backstroke, and 50 meters of freestyle. Man, my breathing SUCKS! I sucked in a big lungful of water when I got my timing just slightly off. *cough, cough, sputter, hack,…

I always compare myself to the person in the next lane. I need to remember this:

I did half a mile tonight. I had a hard time mustering up the motivation to go to the gym because I didn't want to face the heat again, but I went and had a leisurely swim.

I need a hip replacement, spinal fusion, and rotator cuff repair plus I've had ligament replacement surgery in my ankle, and my orthopedists all recommend swimming to maintain activity without stressing the joints further.

Great goals! I'm no where close to being able to do a mile in 40. I'm doing well to keep it under an hour, and I've only done that once.

No problem! I'm sure you're not the only one interested.

I went Saturday and Sunday both. I hadn't been for almost two weeks, so I swam a mile on Saturday and half a mile on Sunday. My arm muscles are pretty sore today, but it's just from a couple of good workouts.

I think McSplashy's cousin swims at my gym. I was two lanes away, and he got water in my eyes!

Good luck! I haven't done a tri before, but they look like a lot of fun. That being said, I would suggest doing some training in open water to prepare because conditions differ in open water compared with a lap pool.

Good luck with your lessons! I've been thinking about taking some for stroke improvement.

I swam this morning. I did a mile in 59:14. I'm really slow, but that was 18:29 faster than the last time I swam a whole mile. I felt really good at the end of it, too. I felt like I could have kept up that pace for quite a while longer.

We have a pool in our backyard, too, but we haven't opened it yet. Ours is kidney shaped, and I was going to get out a tape measure to see how far the longest straight shot is so I can figure out how far I'm swimming on the days I don't hit the gym pool.

I like to get in 1/2 mile swims at least twice during the week, preferably around 8 pm. The lap pool is usually fairly quiet then, so I can just do my own thing. On the weekends, I like to do a longer swim around midday. Regardless of day/time, I have to have eaten fairly recently, including a decent amount of protein, or…

@Moxie42 I'm much better now. I had planned on swimming after work today, but my BFF wants to go shopping and talk, so I'll try to go after that.

My pool has these available too. Right now, I'm just sticking to my own arms and legs! :tongue:

I swam yesterday and had planned on doing a mile. I went 20 laps and got a migraine, felt disoriented, and my arms went numb. I fought on to 24 laps to get 3/4 of a mile and called it quits. I'm taking today off as a rest since I had a weird reaction yesterday.

I swim 25 meter lanes.

Lol...I can picture that dolphin.

I actually took a second recovery day yesterday, but I did go today. Swimming is deceptively hard, but I love that I don't sweat!

That's a great goal! I'm making progress towards my goal. I shaved a little time off of my half mile today. Steady practice!

I'm about to go "suit up" to quote Barney Stinson. I plan to get in a half mile.
