Troubled Waters

A quick swimming challenge update. 

Monday's workout was tough.  I had to do 2 800 workouts.  I combined warm up and cool downs.  So it was probably closer to 1200-1400 yds.  Not bad for me.  But, these workouts are hard!  After last week of feel so good in the water, it is hard to struggle again.  These workouts have higher sets in them.  75's and 100's.  When you finally just conquered a 50 those are huge!  I got my workouts done.  But, didn't feel great about them.

That night I got home and started shopping for a new suit.  I am really wearing my old one down.  Plus, I need more then just on suit if I'm gonna keep this up.  After much trouble we (and I do mean we.  Ed had to help me) the order finally went through.  Sot that is something to look forward too.

Tuesday's workout had me worried.  I had my first 100 planned.  Not happy about it.  Tried to convince my mentor that it was to early.  She said doing it poorly would be better then not doing it.  So, after and hour of struggling through it.  I completed the darn workout.  But, I felt totally defeated.  I'm putting my faith in the process and just riding out these troubled waters.  Only time will tell.  Stay tuned!  (Doesn't that sound like a soap opera title. Troubled Waters)  : )

Today my suit arrived.  So I am excited to swim.  Tonight is a fun swim with the kids.  We will see what they try to get me to do tonight.  I also got a new swim bag, goggles, and bungee straps.  Cant wait to try them out.  Here is a pic of all my new swim sh@t. : )

I may not swim well.  But, I'm gonna look good while trying! 

Have a good Wednesday!!

Ps.  My Tuesday's run went well!!  So at least something is working for me this week.  : )
