Ok, so this will not be a big deal to most people but I'm a fat girl and this is a first for me. Yeserday in the pool I covered 1.25 miles in just 63 minutes!!!! Thats a new PR for me, very pleased with my time. And I even had enough energy afterwards to play with my young son then do an hour piano lesson. Feeling good!!!!!

Excellent job, keep up the good work. Remember fast is relative to who you are and what you could do last week.

Call me impressed!  I'm neither fat or a girl and I couldn't manage that, not even close!  Though I'm working on it!  Keep it up!

Great comment!  Unless you're Chrissie or Craig Alexander (or similar), this is what is important.  Congratulations on your milestone.

That's great!  Congratulations!  Like someone said, fast is relative.  Enjoy the feeling for a short while, then go out and hit another goal to get that feeling again.

Not a big deal??? I beg to differ!  Congratulations on the new PR!  New PRs are big deals IMO.  Even if it means 1 second faster than before.

Congratulations on your PR! The gains I make in training are just as (and sometimes more) profound than what I do on race day.  When I started back swimming last year, I got nervous every time I swam over the deep end!  Milestones are awesome-- great job!

AWESOME!  Way to go!

And how about some positive self-talk while you are at it?  You are an awesome strong swimming, biking and running girl!

 

Edited to add the biking and running because I see that you are doing all three.

"Hubbie" is simply a shortened version of my last name. I got it in the military when my drill instructors and supervisors had a hard time saying my full last name. Truth be told I actually like my handle better than my last name!

Pronounced: Huuuu-beeee (Short H, long U, short B, and long E)

Go back and read what you wrote....because you're way wrong.  What you did is absolutely a big deal to MOST people. In fact, I would venture a guess that you are now in the top 10 - 20% of the population when it comes to swimming 1.25 miles....maybe better.

As you go through this journey...if you MUST compare yourself to others (and I suggest you don't), remember to include the vast amjority of those who do NOTHING, not just those you read about here.

Your milestone is a great one.....be proud!!
