We got hit hard with snow in the last 30 hours, and both my youngest and I are "under the weather" ourselves. This'll be the 2nd day in a row to which I can't get out and swim, and IT SUCKS!!!

*sulk*

wow, sounds like someone got hit with the complaining bug..................

Oh, that's a pickup line in the pool. Lynne is getting hit on in the pool. Maybe he was there when you had the bathing suit incident. LOL

Mornin' Fishies... another 1500 down fo rme this morinin'...

Slow start, but at least I got in. The pool was 86 degrees, I was sweating Though I'm sure the water aerobics ladies loved it.

Now I'm up to 9700 yds of 12,000... that's 80 %... Yippeee!!!

Gotta a lot of work to do...

Will try and catch-up with y'all later.

Have a great day!!!

Great job Heather.

Um, that's a pickup line? OK, then... was this?

The other day, a guy came over and started asking me about swimming. Then he told me that he likes when I'm there, because I swim faster than he does, so it pushes him, and where do I work - he was wondering because we're usually at the pool around the same time, and.... yadda yadda yadda. (There was more, but I'd tuned out by then. I was trying to get a workout in. LOL)

(He's a pretty good swimmer. Does a mile just about every day.)

So.. Um.. Hm. LOL

I think I was not very nice to that man at all. Well I didn't say anything nice but the fact it felt like he was "racing" me I didn't get. But what can ya do? If he wants to swim. SWIM! All the better. I met two lady triathletes to be last night. Wonderful talking to them. I feel useful at times I guess. They were very intrigued about lake swimming so I told them where I swam during the summer and what races I had done etc. They are both doing Danskin this year which I think, even though it's crowded it a great 1st tri to do

Anyway. I babble too much. Today was not good but it's gotten better. I took a doze of a vitamin C booster drink. Wowaweewoo. So I am nipping home for my plastic eyes and going swimming yet again.

YIPPEE! I finished completed my third goal, who would think I could have swam this much after not doing much the last few months! These challenges do work!

I hope to swim Thursday, counting as a bonus swim. I leave Saturday for our ski trip and don't plan on swimming, only in the hot tub!

LET'S GET IN THE POOL FISHIES AND SHOW THEM HOW IT IS DONE! YEAH FISHIES!

I didn't go. Um. I had an upset tummy and well. Yah. Plus my sinuses were just killing me and I was in a God awful mood and just wanted to come home, take a bath and forget about everything and everyone. Am going tomorrow for sure. Got all my stuff ready and I will NOT forget my contacts this time.

I was scheduled for 2500 again, but saw I only need 2750 to finish this thing so I got it done. No worries about pool closings or unplanned work trips now.

I love these challenges, they really wake me up. I hadn't swam since September and was dreading it but now I feel great. I should be able to get the extra 20% and then some.

Lets go Fish.

Great job on completing goal #3. Oh, yes, please get in the pool on Thursday and give us some bonus points. We want bonus points.

Have fun skiing. It has been over 20 years since I've been skiing. Don't know if I even remember how. LOL

Way to go Ken. Super job with your swimming this month. You've got a lot of the month left and we love bonus swims so we will be looking for those.

After all the cr@p the last 2 days, went to the pool and pushed out 1200 yards in one of my quicker workouts that I've ever done. Tomorrow is my long night so I'll finish up my goal then, and with the extra couple of days next week, I'll get some bonus yardage for the team.

Thanks to my Fishie peeps for inspiring me - you haven't been ignored. I've been under-the-weather and haven't been on the 'puter as much, plus now work is actually getting a little busier.

Take care, keep swimming, and catch ya soon!

EDITED: I updated the spreadsheet, too.

Great to see some others finishing up their goal. I'm also done! I hit the 10,000 meter mark yesterday and that is a personal best monthly distance for me. I should be able to add another 3,000 on top of that if I keep going.
