A Great Swim

Oh my goodness.  I had such a great swim tonight. I wasn't going to write about it until tomorrow since it was getting late and I would really like to start getting to bed earlier.

So much for that. I laid in bed forever & finally got up to fold laundry at 3. It's now almost 4. I'm not sure if I should even try to sleep at this point. Of course my first call is is 8.....

Anyway, back to the swim.  It was a 1,000 yd warm up & then a mile broken up into different sub-sets. I figured I would start to see how far I got.  I was really disappointed when I looked at the clock & realized that I had 5 minutes to do 850 yards. The coach said to see how far I could get so I kept going. By the time I hit the last 450 there was no way I was stopping!  He was very nice and stayed about 20 late so that another lady and I could finish up. The last 50 yards was timed at I was at 48 seconds. A lot longer than hen I was a kid, but not bad after swimming almost 1 3/4 miles. That's the farthest I've gone in well over 30 years!!!

Since its late I'm going to fess up. I LOVE the Monday night coach. He always has time for everyone. He's also quite the cutie patootie (QP).  I finally found enough information to google him. I'm really not a stalker, I just act like one one occasion. He looks like he's 12. I don't know about you, but as I get older everyone I think is my age is really much younger. I guess I'm not ready to be old. Anyway, at least he's in his upper 20s. I was really surprised to learn he's a pro athlete. He has won several tris and Ironmans. That makes him all the nicer!

Anyway, all stop rambling now. It was such a great workout. I felt really strong and powerful when it was over with. Maybe that's why I can't sleep!!

I have decided I'm going to train for another half marathon in December 2014.  I would really like to do a run/walk rather than just a walk. I also want to do the Mermaid tri in the spring. I have to figure out the rest of my fitness goals for next year now!!

Happy Tuesday!!!
