MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks aquinn - 2008-02-04 7:34 PM Just wanted to say hey and that I will indeed make sure I swim my 11,000 this month. With a short month, and a pool at my gym that closed yesterday, requiring me now to travel 20 minutes to swim, it will be a challenge. But I'm doin' it, baby! Let's just say for the record that though I can put a swim, it's the endurance that I need to build. Yesterday was cause for rejoice-- my first continuous 500 without stopping- only cause my trainer SHAMED me into it!! But I am so glad I did it. So, I'm not much of a swimmer, but here I go anyway....pushing my limits and my comfort zone in '08. Alright, we like pushing our limits. That's what the challenges are for (in addition to making training fun) |

MotoQueen 13195 | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks aquinn - 2008-02-04 8:25 PM Thanks! I literally panicked when we were swimming and she said "okay, now do a 500" (how do I think I'm going to do a tri? I don't know...I guess I feel like since it's months away...I've got time) But there is no time like NOW and NOW I'm going to do me a 500 every time I get in the pool. 500 and buildng. Do 500, then 550, then 600, etc. and before you know it you'll be a 1000. |

Master 1639 Robbinsville NJ | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks Got to the gym all pumped to turn the corner with my swimming and whaddya know the pool is closed until further notice! Could be a couple days or a week or more. Don't they know I'm training for a triathlon! The good news is my core/abs challenge folks will be happy as I spent an hour on that. |

Master 1678 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks heading to the pool tonight after work Side note... it seems that swimming does very nice things for your arms. Mine are scrawny I think I saw some muscles last night.. whoo hoo! |

Mine are scrawny I think I saw some muscles last night.. whoo hoo! Yes it does! I've gained some nice biceps from swimming regularly - I used to have little chicken arms too. |

Champion 5117 Brandon, MS | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks With another two miles down this morning, I just set a new weekly high in swim distance for myself. It's almost pathetic how much I was neglecting my swim training. I freaking love these challenges. I want biceps like Tracy and Chrissy. |

Extreme Veteran 877 Pa | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks I got up, got ready, and showed up to swim without my goggles. I decided not to suck it up and swim without them and chose to run instead. I will get the swim in either this evening or tomorrow morning :-( Can anyone tell me how to add the links to the logs? I did see the thread that explains it, but I can't seem to figure it out :-( I have a little error in my goals that I can't get ride of (a little pink box). Help, if you can :-) |

Extreme Veteran 506 Lake Placid, NY | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks milaminute - 2008-02-05 12:51 PM atlrunnergirl - 2008-02-05 9:32 AM I'm terrified to go wetsuit shopping. I'd rather do it in the privacy of my own home, but I don't think that's gonna happen. I swam 1300 last night - and (don't laugh) I finally felt comfortable swimming 50 at a time. Hey, ya gotta start somewhere! Great job!!! When I first started swimming I thought I was gonna die after 25m. I still remember my swim coach looking at me and saying "go ahead and do a 400 warm up and then we'll get started". I stared blankly at her thinking... warm up? Uhhh... that's my whole swim, and I'll do a slow 25 at a time, sister! As for wetsuit shopping, if there is any way you can get to All3Sports on a WEEKDAY when they are slow, it will be a good experience for you. Good luck!
Hey- you are describing my current swimming- but I'm determined to grow up to be like you |

Veteran 224 Denver | Subject: RE: Team Swimming Rocks vball03umd - 2008-02-06 7:04 AM Side note... it seems that swimming does very nice things for your arms. I have noticed this too, especially since a hip injury has relegated me to swimming only for the last 4+ months (but some is undoubtedly due to 11+ weeks on crutches!). Another upside to this is my wife approves of/enjoys this side effect! I got off to a bit of a slow start this month as I started off with a cold. But that's cleared up now, so I should be good to go. I'm really glad these challeneges are here - it's definitely helped keep me motivated to go to the pool. Edited by AlexB 2008-02-06 10:26 AM |

I should try to get in 2 more this week and I have a busy weekend... Do we still have anyone with 0% on the spreadsheet? Yeah Me I'm currently ill with a weird bug that is giving me fatigue, some sinus headaches and swollen nodes on my neck. Only week 1 so I'm not worried yet about reaching my 12k goal. I had to tell my clients from Korea to leave early last night so I could go home. Slept like a rock last night and felt ok when I got up but now it's back to the usual blahs. |
