pool running = 60 min hard

the word "hard" is an under statement for sure!  I was so bored I could sream!  I didn't have my swimmimg buddy (toby) there to make it fun.

 I had to do a lot of dodging people.  The water aerobic people think they can take up all the space that is not used for lap swimming.  Because I had do swim for eternity by the time I was done I had the whole pool to myself.  That was really sad.  As much as I am complaining I had a great workout.  I need to get back on the same schedule as toby for sure!!!!

ugghhh, just think about the mental toughness you're developing while you 'weave' in & out of people and try to stay sane for 60 minutes!!

I tether myself in place so you don't have to worry about having to dodge and you can pull harder against the tether.

RivertonPaul- thanks for the advice! I bet that would really kick my butt. How do you tether yourself and to what?

Either the ladder rail or the starter blocks work with bungee cords.

Where have you gone?

From calliej on Fri, Apr 02, 2010 at 19:56:55 from 97.126.144.223

Carolyn- I have kind of fallen off the wagon. Life has it me in all directions and I have to admit I am a little discourage about my recovery. I just need to get back into it and stay focused. Thanks for checking up on me! :)

Swimming for eternity....that does sound like torture! But you did it and finished, YEAH!
