I am so excited. I swam my first mile today. Not in a row, but I did do a mile worth of laps for my workout. That is 33 laps, plus a few thrown in to warm up and cool down.
I will probably back off from that until I am better prepared but I just wanted to see if I could do it. I am exhausted right now.My next goal will be to do 10 laps in a row non-stop. This is what I swam for an event in high school. I loved the long distance swimming. I am looking forward to that feeling again. I can't remember if swimmers experience that second wind that runners get.
I found out something new today too. I am starving after a long swim like today. I could not get my mind off of food. I ate a chicken salad sandwich with some apple juice. That should help me get to sleep for the day. I will have to figure something out in the future if this hunger thing keeps up. I don't want to eat away all of my workout benefits everyday.
1st mile! yay me!
