No one said anything about swimming. Nah, just kidding. It is a Tri. I get it. But swimming? really? Ugh, sigh, double ugh!
So I did my first swimming training session yesterday afternoon at my gym. Hilarious to onlookers, I'm sure. I can just hear the lifeguards conversing now: "Clear the pool! We have a flail-er! It's that girl in lane 1 with the old guy!" Yes, there was an elderly gentleman who was doing aquatic walking exercises who just may have been going faster than me. My thought is: I can only get better from here ;)
Today was a confidence booster of sorts after yesterdays staggering swimming attempt. I ran 3.1 miles in just under 36 mins. That puts me at about a 12 minute mile. My goal by the end of the summer is to run 3.1 miles in 30 mins. I look forward to the challenge :)
I saw Kali and April (the lovely ladies I am training with) last night and the more we talk about it the more excited we get!
Cheesy quote of the day: "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming!" Finding Nemo (it's funny how Disney movies can dish out surprisingly profound pieces of wisdom from little fish)
