Days 31 and 32

As promised I went swimming on Thursday.  I didn't, however, have time to update this blog until today.  I also swam yesterday so I'm going to combine two days.

On Thursday, Day 31, I met my swimming buddy at the pool ocean before work.  She was less than pleased to be up before dawn, but I admit I prefer early morning swims.  They wake me up and give me energy for the day ahead.  There were a few octopuses and some fish already there by the time we got in but there was still enough room.  I swam for a total of 950 yards before I had to get out and go to work.

We met again last night for Day 32.  There were a lot of other fish already there by the time we got in.  It made for some choppy waters, which were difficult at times to swim through.  We pushed each other further last night than in the two days prior.  By the end of the night I swam 1,200 yards.

On Day 31 I swam 950 yards + 1,200 yards swam on Day 32 = 2,150 yards swam between Days 31 and 32.

At the end of Day 30 I had 2,773,650 yards left to swim - 2,150 yards swam on Days 31 and 32 = 2,771,500 yards left to swim!

My swimming buddy and I are meeting up tomorrow morning, bright and early (maybe I should say dark and early?).  I'm excited to get such a nice start to my day!

Day 30!

Well, it's been a long time since I updated but I've found a new swimming buddy (my mom!) and plan to get back into swimming regularly!  I'm ashamed to say I have literally not swam a single yard since my last update.

My mom and I agreed to meet at the pool ocean at 6:00 yesterday morning.  She called me Monday night and begged off so last night I dragged her, kicking and screaming.  Okay, fine, she was more into it than I'm admitting.

There was a school of little minnows that had just finished a class or workout of some sort as we arrived.  I worried there might be a lot of fish out, but there weren't.  It was actually pretty calm.  After a while a fish came up and swam along side us, but we didn't last long after that anyway.

Since it was my first time in the water in over a year, and my mom's first time in the water in a few months, we decided to make it a shorter trip last night.  I swam 700 yards.

At the end of Day 29 I had 2,774,350 yards left to swim - 700 yards swam on Day 30 = 2,773,650 yards left to swim!
