Oh Yes! I did it! I've been and exercised again! Gosh this is getting a habit! Better put an end to that smartish!
Today I woke up and went for a splash! I was planning a nice easy one. Just swimming, no pressure, no goals. I was in the pool for 7:05 (thud) so had an hour.
I swam a bit, stopped for a drink, said hello to the fast bloke, swam a bit more. Cleared my misted goggles, drank and swam some more. I used Hollywood's finger watch thing to count my lengths and paused the time when I stopped.
Total swim time about 53mins and distance (drum roll please!) 1.8km! Yes I did 72 lengths! Long gone are the days of a quick 30mins in the pool doing say 30 lengths, maybe more if I get in early!
In Febuary 50 lengths was 50 minutes and in March the mile was taking an hour (including breaks) so when I look back (thanks Fetch!) I am improving! Problem is I seem to have lost the front crawl bit! It kills me! back to 1-2 lengths max but at least I keep going rather than stopping for a breathe row! So I must do something about that!
Yet again my fastest 50m was the 1st (1mins10) and my ave today was 1:27 but most of my swimming is breast stroke. I know that doesn't matter and that it's great exercise but I do want to crack the crawl as I still want to do the 5K Swimathon in March! (I want a swimming medal!)
Anyway tomorrow I have the school run to do both morning and afternoon as hubby is off to watch the cricket! (assuming it doesn't rain!) My plan is to do a run but we will see! Then Saturday driving to Duck's (maybe a short dog walk??) and Sunday we get lost! I mean do a long walk! So this means I may be AWOL for a few days but stressy not I will be back!!
