Today I started out by going to "30 Minute Abs." It was another aerobics class and showed me how weak and out of shape I am. Yay. Afterwards, I went swimming. The pool schedule was all messed up, and the swim team was practicing. Those 10 year olds were kicking my butt. It made me miss swim team.. even YMCA swim team. Go Gators! That was my old team- I think they are the Mariners now or something. Anyway, my swimming felt funny today. I felt very buoyant- oh and the aquacizers did not help the situation by making more waves in the pool.
Total: 2100 yards
600 yd warm up
5 x 200 each 200- odds IM order, even free on :20 rest
10 x 50 on the 1:10 alt 25 fly kick on back/25 free with 25 br pull/25 free
About Me
Hi! I'm Stacey... I have started swimming again. I swam competitively for 10 years- YMCA, high school, and then for 4 years in college at Grand Valley State University. I really have not been in the pool all that much since my last college season ended (tear) in Feb 2004. I love swimming. I always have, and I always will. I feel a special "oneness" with the water. It is both a stress release and a challenge. In its basic form, swimming is pure joy for me. However, over the years, unachievable goals, disappointments, and health problems would sometimes get in the way. Despite my love of the water- the way you can sometimes feel every little water droplet when you push off of the wall (the best feeling in the world)!, I have had a hard time getting back into the pool and sticking with it. I know that in recent years, my life has been missing something. I am pretty sure that something is the smell of chlorine! So, I am going to try again, and I am using this blog as a form of accountability! My goal will be to participate in an open water race this year.
