I have started swimming laps in hope to gain back my pre-kids body :) I suck!!! A couple laps and my heart is racing, and I am short on air. Of course it would probably help if I took more breaths while I swam :) I swam laps for about a half an hour today. Now before you get too excited thinking that I did a lot, most of those laps were with a kick board using mostly my legs... But not all of them. In fact I raced my little sister today, and she usually beats me. But not today. Well OK she won the first race, but I beat her on the second race and I didn't even cheat. Unless you add in the fact that she got back from England LATE last night, and was going on a little sleep. But that's not really cheating, right? I raced Josh Jr. last week, and beat him too! I think he was a little disappointed that I beat him. He didn't talk to me for a little while after the race. Then he asked for a rematch... And I beat him again! Of course it helps that I can swim the whole width of the pool in one breath.
I've said it before ... Josh Jr swimming for speed is a tough situation ... because his arms are so skinny that it's like paddling a boat with sticks instead of oars. With a little more meat on his bones he'll be flying past you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the swimming though!
