Dec. Swim Challenge: Crazy Canucks! (Page 5)

Good morning Team Canada.  Hope everyone is doing well and making progress towards their goal.  My cold seems a bit better this morning - still a bit in my lungs but I think it is breaking up.  I'm hoping to get 2k in this Friday morning.  Take the time to visit a teammates BT Log (click on the BT Log below their name on the spreadsheet)- send them some inspires.

Alright... so it looks like I'll be getting in my first swim today for the challenge.  I haven't posted any swimming yet but don't worry.  I will make sure that I complete my goal ... My house is in renovation mode and chaos is all around me!  This is going to be an interesting month.

*wiping screen now dribbling with coffee* Are you bigbrothering me? How come you know i wont finish the dam report?

Those are words of wisdom...can i use them for my sig line (copyright to you of course)? 

Thats pretty funny.  And it would make an excellent sig line.  Good job getting the swim in, now lets keep our fingers crossed that you got the report done. 

Done swimming this week and I could be a little ahead of schedule, I might even do 50-100m more then planed

I always have problems in Dec.  I have been sick since Monday and missed my tuesday master practice.  Today I'm feeling a bit better.  Last master class for the season tonight.  Not sure I will make that one either.  But don't dispare fellow team members.  I have two weeks off during the holidays and plan on being at the pool. I have access to 4 different pools in my area.  No excuse not to get-er-done.

Nightmare. I have just heard that my local pool is going to be shut between 18th and 27th December. That would normally be two Tuesday night sessions and one saturday am session.

I do have a couple of other pools that I sometimes use

D'oh!

So, my Thursday swims are usually an hour.. around 2000-2200m.  USUALLY!  Tonight, I get to the pool and I'm the only one there - just me and the coach!  So I didn't get as much swimming in as I wanted to - only 1350m - but it was an awesome session.....

Gonna have to make up that lost kilometrage somewhere (yeah, that's Canuck for mileage). 

I'm back baby!  No - I don't want to get over confident but I did get in 2 km this morning.  First workout in many weeks.  It's a start!

How's everyone else doing?

Chugging away at it. The recent spell of -20º C weather though has made the pool water seem really chilly though. Well, at least until about 100m into the swim when I start to warm up. Still, after walking outside, getting chilled to the bone and then stripping into my jammers, the last thing I want is a chilly pool.

How many more months till summer?

Just trying to figure out How I am going to swim during my week of gravies!

Just go do it I guess!!!

Arrggh...I've got the flu...feel like I've been hit by a Mac Truck.

 Hopefully I'll be back by next week. But then I've got a 3 day business trip with no pool available.

 Uh - oh....

Hey at least I got my Guelph to Milton run in....18K whooohoo! I snapped this pic when I hit the Milton township line.

- Opps double post....cold and flu meds are making me loopy

Got in another swim this morning (pool was 2 degrees colder than normal as their boiler was broken).  Hope everyone else is doing well with their challenge.  I'll be updating the spreadsheet later tonight so please try to update your log as soon as you can!
