Doh!  I hope he/she is okay and you can go to the pool when you can

Another 1300 in the books for me today, right on track with 45% completed so far.

I'd like to share my Son's glory with you all. This past Sat was the FL state YMCA swim championships and my son did awesome. It was his 1st big meet and first time swimming 50yard distance in a meet. Since he was unseeded he went in the 1st or 2nd heats and was able gain a lot of confidence by winning his heats! Here he is getting set for the start of the IM. Overall for the 8 & under AG he was 7/23 for the 25 yd Backstroke, 11/24 for the 50 yd Free, 5/13 for the 50 yd Breast and 6/14 for the 100yd IM. He's given me extra motivation to get my arse to the pool!

1750 yards today and I'm REALLY excited because it's the first time I did the whole workout, except for the cool down, using freestyle. I had been switching between breast and free Whoo hoo!!

Off to watch the MD basketball game vs. Duke at the bar because our cable is out. grrrr... the one night we actually want to watch tv!

DON'T FORGET, ALL- I'm not a slacker- my pool is closed till Tuesday (at which time swimming will be over before I can get home from work) and I will not be able to swim till NEXT Wednesday. I am saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad about this, but will take the opportunity to go through and inspire everyone. and do some swim specific upper body strength work!!

The next closest pool to me is almost an hour away.

D001 - 2008-02-13 8:21 PM Go Duke! Oh wait... er... I'm thinking the UMD at the end of your BT username might mean you aren't rooting for Duke. But Duke is in NC. And I'm in NC... So I'm closer to Duke than to UMD. And... But..... Oh, I'm so confused.... Well, this much I know --> Hope you have fun watching the game!

Unfortunately no swimming for me yesterday or today. I had ice stormus interruptus yesterday. Was debating going out anyway, went to walk the dog at about 7:30 or so I think and I didn't actually touch a single one of my 4 steps. Ouch! Luckily nothing too serious other than general soreness today. Will be taking the day off from everything today though so I don't aggravate anything. I promise I'll swim on Thursday and have set aside Mon - Thurs as swim days next week. I may even reach my goal by then.

Swimming tonight after work again. And then probably on Friday morning. I'm out of town again this weekend, with no access to a pool (and won't be back until very late on Sunday).

Looks like the rocks are floating!  Nice work swim people.

Got in another 3000yds with a swimplan.com workout this morning.  Whew.  Butt kicker, but it felt great.  I'll get it in the spreadsheet when I go home for lunch.  For some reason the public google spreadsheets are blocked at work.  If they ever block bt.com I'm quitting (not really). 

Meeting today, so work will interfere with bt time.  Bummer. 

Have a good one, everybody.

carrie1 - 2008-02-13 8:44 AM

Just got in another 2k yards. :-)  Brings me to over 50 % 

Good job everyone!

Shoeless - 2008-02-13 10:22 AM

Just added my 2650. Now I am at 56% of my goal! YAY! Great job team! KIU

MD lost grrr....they were looking good until the last 6 minutes or so. Since I went to U of MD, I'm wired to not like Duke. At all.

I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but Duke really makes my blood boil.. haha. I think it's something they put in the Maryland water.

milaminute - 2008-02-13 9:57 PM

Ummmm... you've got her with the UMD part of her username and then there's Gracetheterp and then there's ME. So, uhhh... you're in fear the turtle territory 'round here, Dee .

I've talked myself right over to another page.

Good news. I don't sound like Darth Vadar any longer. I'm hoping to actually get in the pool this Friday. Let's see if I have any energy or strength in my arms. LOL

D001 - 2008-02-13 9:03 PM



Oh bummer. If I had known you sounded like Darth Vader, I'd have asked you to make a nice sound file.... Then, we could have played it all over the internet....
