I can say there were no incidences this evening on the trek to the pool.
If I was a few minutes later I would have had space in the "fitness" pool but instead opted for the activity pool instead. The lane next to mine was a group of 4 girls (very little girls) taking their first (well it seemed like their first) swimming lesson. It was cute to watch them and listen to the instructors instructions.
Me - I did 2 sets of 2 laps of the breast stroke - uh - total of 4 laps or 200 yards. And 4 sets of 1 lap of free style - uh another 4 laps or 200 yards. I definitely find the breast stroke easier. And I like the muscle groups it seems to focus on. However I really need to get better at the freestyle. I was in the pool for a total of 20 minutes - I would like to work up to being swimming for a total of 30 minutes. We shall see how I progress on that one.
And let's be honest - if I had my wish it would be 30+ minutes of swimming in the Caribbean with a tank and mask - but that's a whole other agenda...
In the walking world - I don't pretend to call it running just yet. I did 1.2 miles this evening - the weather is perfect out there - so I did the loop around the neighborhood. I thought I'd do longer but I tired out.
So now I am sitting here with a cup of hot tea, the laundry kicking in some more downstairs and maybe some bills to pay - now that will be fun...
