Ok - today Mike and I hit the gym. He did his typical workout, and I... I did a completely NOT typical swim. No drills. No fins. No kickboard or pull bouy. Just me, my goggles, and my sweet arsed swim cap.
And I swam. And swam. And swam some more.
31 minutes and 57 seconds later I hit stop on my watch. 25 laps done in the book. And in Bally's world that means that I swam... nonstop... for 1,150 YARDS. That my fine friends is 0.65 miles. That my fine, fine friends is more than a sprint tri swim. That my fine, fine, fine friends was one hellova swim.
I am smiling ear to ear right now.
Tomorrow is bootcamp DVD and then Saturday is the FAST swim (1.5 hours) followed by breakfast and a 5 mile run at Kennsington with some BTers. Life is good.
Life is really good.
Nighty night all!

Brilliant showing there Jenn! MI represent!
I have no idea where this si coming from - but thatnk you all for the continued encouragement!
I feel good knowing that I can do the distance. So I feel that by the end of February I will have a good base built - the ditances of an Olympic tri - this way I will work on speed for my sprints and my half marathons and duathlons.
3/8/08 is my first Triathlon!!!! It is indoors of course (brrr Michigan) but still it will be my first back to back to back in the correct order :o)
And I swear that I really can type - oops!
fuck yeah!!!
But, you are not in open water like at a tri, sharks (have you seen Jaws), snakes (water moccasin), sea serpents (Loch Ness Monster), alligators, crocodiles, octopus, jelly fish, etc...
What a feeling.
I love the picture! How cute!
Love the pic!
Oh man that is so awesome! Great job on the swim. You really have come a long way!!!!!!
