Somebody make it end!

With 8 days to go...

failed to post this yesterday! did 44 lengths in the pool last night. shouldn't go in the evening really, as I never get to swim for as long as I'd like due to people being irritating and me getting fed up and getting out!

new swimming costume is cool though.

Yay finally broke through six hundred! Another 40 lengths today, so still on target and all is well with the swim. Although I really do need a new swimming costume - my red one feels all weird. I was constantly paranoid that when I was pushing off it was exposing me!

Another 40 lengths today. Have decided that a Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday schedule is unrealistic, as I always seem to have a handy excuse not to go at the weekend.

So we're giving Monday-Wednesday-Friday a go instead. Monday morning is (as noted earlier in the week) a tricky one, I mean who wants to voluntarily get up an hour earlier than normal on a Monday. But Friday evenings are good for getting in a longer swim - as evidenced by last Friday being my best session so far.

56 lengths today! Go me! So total is 444, so we're on about 35%. 7 and a half miles. Doing pretty good!

and I was swimming in the fast lane for most of it. admittedly this is because the middle lane was SLOW as you like. Paralympic turn guy was there, and some crazy possibly foreign girl doing lots of really slow technique practising lengths with floats, and then doing lenghts in a really slow butterfly stroke.

fortunately there were no really fast people there, so the fast lane was merely slightly-faster-than-the-medium-lane-usually-is.
