So I pulled myself out of bed at the crack of dawn and sped down to the local swimming hole. I knew I had to go or I wouldn't get my swimming in for the week, but dang it was cold. As I got closer to the pool the car beeped, and I thought great my car is broken. But no - it was just the outside that was broken. 36 degrees, and I was swimming outside? YUCK!!! I really need to find an inside pool.
But on a positive note I was able to do the stroke rate at 23 per lap (though it was rather slow) but T2 said I should spend the whole week working on just that. So that is what I did. Well this work out I did. But all the research I have done does say that you need to perfect your technique and then your speed will come. Truth is I am working some muscles because I certainly was sore when I finished up.
So I ended up doing 3300 yards - two swimming miles (I know a mile is 1760, but we call a 1650 a mile - I guess we need a little break - I bet runners a mile is what 2000 yards?) So from here on out when I talk about miles it is always 1650.
The rest of the day was all about cleaning and getting ready for CHRISTMAS. I am such an old lady, but Christmas still excites me. PResents presents presents...

It's genetic.
ReplyDeletePresents, presents, presents - in the presence of a prescient present recipient - T3 does like her presents.
ReplyDeleteTSH has been wrapping all day - there are still three packages which have not come, so let's hope that Monday or Tuesday brings the missing gifts.
T3 discovered that the Koret Center at USF has a great pool, at least per internet responses. Darren of my office said Koret Center was super too - let's hope there is parking.
