Still Love Swimming

Man! I still do. I really didn't want to go today. I didnt get enough sleep last night. And I am a little out of my groove because I didn't work out yesterday because of other obligations. It was cold. Wa, wa, wa. I've just gotta get up and do it. And so I did. But once I got there I had a good time. I really don't think I would have as much of a good time or make as much progress without the direction and motivation I am getting from Trish at El Dorado Hills Sports Club. Kudos to Trish. Today, I completed 1200 yards, which is a personal best for me so far in distance. We practiced a drill called Distance Per Stroke for the first time. This is a drill where you are breathing every 3rd stroke for a lap, then every 4th, every 5th and finally every 6th stroke. It was challenging and interesting to see how I did. Then we did a pyramid of increasing intervals that peaked and then decreased. In the end, I was tired, but I felt great. Trish wrote out a workout for me for Thursday (yes I will be at the pool on Thanksgiving morning) and an additional one to try out if I want on an off day. I just think I might. Have a lovely day! :o)
