By Lifan, on January 19th, 2010It’s a good thing that Tracy has been blogging about swimming. It’s kept it on the forefront of my mind. My goal this week was to get in to the pool. Preferably twice. I’ve done one so far and am not quite certain where to schedule my next one. Friday maybe.
When I was in grade school, I swam on a swim team. In my opinion, I was pretty good. Not the very best out there, but I could hold my own. I must have had some good coaches, or I must have really been paying attention, because many of their lessons still stick with me about the basics. I think this was what got me through my swim today. I actually felt good – better than any other time I attempted to start swimming! I swam freestyle (crawl) most of the time and switched to breast stroke or kicking with a kickboard when I got tired. Boy, I can sure feel it in my arms and back, but I feel great. I need to work on endurance and consistency, but I’m happy to report that I completed 1200 meters in all today. That’s about .75 miles! I can do this. I can do this. I AM doing this!
…and so can you!
