Swimming Like a Rock

I got to the Rec Center at about 5:55 this morning and the pool was already open with a guy swimming in lane one. So what time does the pool REALLY open anyway? I swam 1750 yards in 35:24. It was not a good swim for me. I don’t know what was wrong, my strokes felt wrong and I kept trying to breathe underwater. I have felt like I have water in my nose all day.
I have got to get some new goggles. The ones I have now are almost a year old and just stay fogged, I couldn’t see anything. I forgot to check Wal-mart when I was there earlier. Darn it!!!
But I did pick up a new running skirt. The only color they had in small was bright green. I haven’t tried it on so I don’t even know if it will fit.
I found out the Rec Center is going to have a 1 mile kids race in addition to the 5k for Old Timer’s day at the end of August. My kids are so excited. They are ready to race again. Bryce even went with me Saturday for a 1 mile walk to get Peyton dry after her bath.

So glad I found your blog, really like reading about other women's workouts! Inspires me to go do my own. I'm in St Louis, MO, I also like reading Midwestern/Southern-ish area athletes for some reason, I feel like we're all in this together.Thanks!

Sounds like you were inspired by the running diva's lime green ensemble! 1750 yards swimming?! I can barely make it one lap!
