Well, the swimming has begun! It has been 1 month since my post about starting this exercise. I have improved quite a bit since that very first night - when I couldn't even swim the entire length of the pool without stopping and sucking air! Allyson is much better than I, but I am doing it! I can actually make 10 - 12 laps (20 - 24 lengths of the pool) in 45 minutes now. I am still stopping after each length, but not resting as long as I used to - - so progress has been made!
So, we haven't quite gotten 4 nights/days of swimming in each week as I'd originally hoped, but we have gone at least twice each week together! Allyson as gone some without me, which I haven't ventured out to do yet without her. She is such a motivator for me, though. And while she does give me a hard time, she's my cheerleader too, and I appreciate that so much!
I've been sick for almost a week, so it's been a week since I've been in the pool. I may not make it back until Thursday this week - but I am finally feeling like I want to, so that's a big plus!! I went Sunday afternoon to sit and watch as Allyson swam, so she didn't have to go alone - AND - to get out of the house. I found myself missing it, actually! That's good! Real good!! So, while this week is not looking like a 4 out of nigher either, that's OK. Next week is a new week! Just keep doing what you can do when and where you can do it!
I've got to be looking into what to do after the summer and the free pool is closed. Time for a gym membership somewhere. I just need to do my homework!
