Wet and Wild (Page 3)

I got my first swim in today.  I ranked mine in hours not distance as I had no idea how fast I would swim.  I completed one hour.  My goal is seven for the month.   I am scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday of next week and I may try to squeeze in an hour on Sunday.  It went much better than  I thought, I was nervous about it... It had been a long time.

Thanks to everyone for their encouraging words.  Now, where to I tally my hour?  I understand there is a spreadsheet somewhere?

Jeni,

Thanks, I will leave it up to you.  I have some free time on Sunday so I may slip in another hour.  I was very slow and careful this time and with a group getting a lot of good instruction.  I only filled my nose three times...  If I am left alone, I will shoot for 1,000 YDS -- 40 laps.  It took a lot of effort but it fealt very good.

Again, thanks for taking care of this.  I hope it will be two hours!!!

Another evening swimmer here - got in 3000 yards tonight. 

I've been amazed at how quiet the pool has been - it seemed a lot busier in November and early December.  Not that I'm complaining!!

Last night was Uphill Grind Spinerval, Im gearing up for Wildflower Olympic Distance in May!

But tonight, It's all about the swim! Tonight wil be a nasty swim at masters group,terrible weather here. I should be able to get 3000+ before my run at the track.

5k swim?  That's awesome...last season I did a couple of 3400's and eventually got bored and hungry and gave up.

hey everyone... i have been the slacker so far of the group... I have been on-call for work and it's very hard to get to the pool with the phone on my hip... I'll be sure to be hitting the pool on Monday... I'll be meeting my goal in no time..

have a nice weekend.

Got in another 1100 last night so I'm right on track for goal.  Long sessions set for Sunday and Monday.

Happy Friday and Have a great swim! 

It's a day away from the pool for me today.  I've just started trying the simplefit workouts so I've got one of those on the schedule for tonight.  Back to the pool on Sat and Sunday though!

Have a great weekend everyone!

medic0020 - 2008-01-04 8:38 AM Great job Emerson. I've been slack so far but I'm headed to the pool this am. My masters class kicks in next week, so that will help keep me motivated to reach my goal.

And if you fall behind with your goal, I will subject you to glitter. Oh wait. I subject you to glitter anyway. Nevermind.

Dee,

We love your glitter!  I cannot fathom how you encourage all of us and have a job too.  I am a disorganized disaster area just keeping up with getting important things done.  So, go ahead glitter us!!!!  I will take your glitter any day of the week.  And, if I swim on Sunday again I will be ahead of pace on the challenge.  That will be something!  My first laps since 6th grade.  Ouch, that was in the 60s.

Thanks Dee, you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course not, your job is to leave us sitting on the edge of our seats all day long wondering what Dee will come up with next time.  It fills the emptiness of our conventional lives...  Ohhh I think the BS is getting a little thick... Between a full time career, taking care of my home, my wife, training, etc.  I don't get a lot of things done... And, in some ways, if it is not that important, I don't care.  All jokes aside, you are a dear to take the time to brighten so many days for so many people.  I am glad to have you as a friend.  Emerson of Tucson (PS: enjoy the story)
