Day 569 - Swimming anyone

So I am not 16 anymore, and I wonder sometimes was I ever fast.  I went swimming at the gym today, and I found that I was the slowest one there.  I was probably the oldest one there too.  But that is besides the point. I read and read about these swimmers and their times, and I think I never had times like that (that I remember) how could they do that?  One person said that they had been swimming for about six months and they were doing 100's on the 1:15.  Means she had to have been doing them at about 1-1:05, my fastest was 1:05 I think.

I know I know we work on speed when I have food to fuel me, until then we work on stroke.  But I want to work on speed.  The mind is willing the body not so.

LZ is going to be going away during the summer, so I am going to have nobody working with me.  I want to keep her forever, but I think I need to have someone who works me.  I am going to have to sleep on this.

  1. I agree you need someone to work with you. Could you ask LZ if she has a recommendation for the summer?

    Would a little more food help with the speed? You certainly are burning the calories.

    Tomorrow is T3's walk from home to Kaiser (about 6 miles), so that's a great start. Unfortunately, TSH has a torn or strained calf muscle, so you're not getting any companionship in your walks - hopefully within a week TSH can walk with you! Tolar is being spayed in a couple of weeks, so she'll be available in about 3 weeks - walk, walk, walk!
