Day 28

Last Wednesday was Day 28.  I was out of town at the end of last week so I was unable to update until today.  My friend and I met up at our usual spot and got in to swim.  The water was really cold, which was terrible for my ankle.  It was in a lot of pain.  I found my normal stimulation was just not enough, but by the time I found out it was too late to change it.

I don't think they've dredged cleaned it in a while either since the bottom was littered with dead eels and various coral and bottom feeding animals. It was pretty gross.  When I mentioned it to my friend she said she had noticed but didn't want to believe it.

There were very few other fish in the water, all of them regulars.  A couple welcomed me back after my hiatus, which was nice.  We swam most of the time we were able to, although it was difficult, having been out of the water for so long.  In the end I was able to swim 2,200 yards.

At the end of Day 27 I had 2,777,550 yards left to swim - 2,200 yards swam on Day 28 = 2,775,350 yards left to go!

My friend and I are going to meet up at our usual ocean pool tonight.  After the conditions last week I'm hoping to join the new gym sometime next week.

Day 27

I haven't posted in a long time.  I was pretty sick for a few weeks so I wasn't able to get into the ocean pool until last Thursday.  I went on lunch break with my uncle.  He brought me as a guest to check out his gym because I said I was looking for a new one.  I loved it.

There was an old octopus in the lane next to us.  He was moving faster than me!  I talked to him before I left and he told me he swims 3 miles a day!  I can only hope one day I'll be able to say that.

Since we were on lunch and had spent some time looking around the gym we weren't able to stay in the water very long.  I swam 700 yards before we had to get out and go back to work.

At the end of Day 26 I had 2,778,250 yards left to swim - 700 yards swam on Day 27 = 2,777,550 yards left to swim.

I plan on joining this new gym within the next few weeks but I'm not sure how much access I'll have to the ocean pool until then.
