Sometimes I get cramps in my feet, but not lately... I usually try to swim through them and relax. I always have a bottle of water with me, and I add iForce Compete to it for cardio workouts. What bothers me the most is my hands cramp up... and then aren't too happy with me for a bit. I use my hands a lot though (I am a…

That's good advice, thank you! I would guess because you're not getting that extra push from the wall and you might get off course quite a bit in the chaos of all the other swimmers??
-
Good to note! Thanks :)
-
Thank you! I will try to get to open water a few times before the race, but it definitely won't be a routine thing. What do you mean by spotting? I'll see how many workout swimming buddies I can get to share lanes with me - great advice! Honestly, being kicked in the gut or in the head is what I think will slow me down the…

I signed up for a relay tri in June! I'm doing the swimming portion, it's only 800m but in open water. Makes me crazy nervous, but I am hoping it will just be fun. I don't have a lake to train in, so it will be all pool swimming and maybe a couple times out in open water... am I nuts? That's what I'm thinking... I'm…

Great job getting back in the pool! Really, that's the hardest part (jumping in). Once you're there, everything is usually better! :) I usually do 1000 m warmup and then do sprints for a few hundred meters and then cool down 200m. I only swim freestlye, because I like it a lot and it's pretty natural for me. I usually…

Thank you! I will definitely look into these!!!!!!

A little update: I swam two miles Feb 1st in about an hour and a half. I wanted to go further, but got one of those goggle headaches (it's time for new goggles!!), really had to pee, and buddied with my Mom to the gym so I didn't want to take too much more time. Currently I'm working on lowering my 2000m time. I swim…

That's amazing - both hips! I know being limited has made me feel very weak, but in the pool I feel strong and motivated. There is really no other feeling quite like it! Just keep swimming :)

I have been on the lookout too for a swim HRM (potentially GPS) watch - if you want some great reviews, and haven't checked out DC Rainmaker's website, he's pretty awesome! www.dcrainmaker.com/

I'm looking for the same thing (pretty much). I really love supporting people, but need it in return too! Any of y'all feel free to add me. My diary is open to friends, I log daily, and blog when I need to get some emotional relief. I try really hard to be there for people, and am a pretty good cheerleader to my pals..…

Trader Joe's has organic dark chocolate, and it's very good! If you aren't close to one you can try a local Health Food store or co-op, where I live the best for me is Door2Door Organics: https://www.doortodoororganics.com/. :)

There is a lot of really really good advice up there! You can do this, you can! *cheers you on* I truly believe the bad days make way for the good ((hugs))
-
I'll have to try this, thank you! :)
-
Thank you so much! Both suggestions are fantastic - esp with natural probiotics! I love using vinegar to clean as well! :)
-
What is in Mio? I tried to look up the ingredients but couldn't find it. Thanks for the tip!
-
Thank you for the suggestion :) :)

Although I love peer and pizza, and will everyonce in a while have some I want a daily alternative that won't give me a beer belly LOL
-
Haha! :p

I know, it's hard.. I really was never a fan of diet pop but I do miss a cold glass of Pepsi everyonce in a while. Even when I'm out to eat, I bring my water bottle. There is so much chemical/extra/sugar/etc. added... and you're right once you taste the real thing you don't want to go back! :)
-
Thanks!
-
Thank you! These are great ideas I will try :) :)

LOVE the wine glass idea, and ya know.. tannins.. tannins are good :p

Haha. This post made me smile! My boyfriend has introduced me to Steam - we started out playing Trine which surprised me at how beautiful it is!!! I really enjoy playing it, takes you into a different world for a bit and you get engaged and things don't seem so complicated or insurmountable in the world anymore. He loves…
