No Goal?

 

Well... the Puppy and Stevey want to do a side challenge that involves the looser EITHER:

a) posting a speedo pic (the boys)

OR

b) in a 2 piece (me - Ive NEVER worn a 2 piece swimsuit so Im NOT loosing)

But... I havent been swimming much so trying to out swmi the two of them combined would be stupid.... as it would be like 6 times the amount of swimming I did last month... and i dont want a repeat of the madness from taking on PAt...

 

So... we need to workout how I win... and we havent... so I havent set a goal until they tell me the terms...

That... and its winter and cold which makes swimming not so much fun



Yeah swimming here is just starting to get fun again...just as it is getting not fun for you!

Well I am glad its fun for SOMEONE....

All the 50m pools that are reasonably near to work or home are OUTDOORS...

So... me being me... Im trying to keep swimming outdoors through winter... which when you swim after dark or first thing in the morning mihgt not be smart!

But... will see... I prefer 50m pools and the indoor 25m ones are always like swimming in bath water and really crowded... so Im hoping I can keep it up... just have to get some good sweat pants etc I think to throw on after!



Wow...swimming outside through the winter!  How cold does it get near you?  I have to agree with you about prefering an outdoor pool, but its just not practical with the type of winters we get here.  Luckily the pool I swim in is at the University and is mostly for lap swimmers so they keep it fairly cool.

Good luck with that!  I really admire the nurses who work nights all the time...We have to do it for a month at a time and by the end of 4 weeks I am exhausted with having to switch back and forth from days to nights on the weekends/days off.

Probably too cold for me, I am a super wimp when it comes to cold and water.  Cold and snow go together.

ok, so i finally got in the pool today for the first time this year. sad but true... but it ruled!! i only did ~900yds and it took me half an hour, but i felt so good when i got out of the pool.
so based on that, this challenge is gonna rock!
can't wait to get in the pool again and start logging the times for the challenge.

In the mornings at the moment Ive seen it well under 10degreesC...

So lets say around 45-50F ish... at worst on average for a really cold morning... if there is a wind or some rain thats when you feel it though...

Not as cold as more people are used to in your part of the world but plenty cold enough for ME to feel it!

Well nights works for the family right now.  I think switching kind of stinks, one or the other for me, I can regulate my sleep better.  We have hospitalist now and I love them! No hassles in the middle of the night.

Happychick - 2009-04-30 5:36 PM Ok...I'm a bit slow but I am finally caught up and thought about making several more comments but had to wipe the drool off the computer!   Anyway, I will also be starting May with a swim.

Erica ~ I can't wait for the day where it doesn't take me an hour to swim 1/3 of what your doing!!

Hey Julie ~ how goes it girly?

Hey Michelle! how are you???? I am doing fantastic! just got a new swim suit and a new pair of goggles...in the mail and will be alll dolled  up for my first swim of this challenge!kind of a pre inspiration thing...and it worked....already in my swim bag ready for tomorrow! GO GIRLS!

Thats awesome! My first swim will *hopefully* be Sunday....

Then again I dont have a goal yet either... other than to NOT loose!

that is a very KEY goal...one we should all be striving for! ;-)
