So its been a while...

But i'm still here.

I SWAM IN A 50 METRE POOL!....

its pretty exciting, its a whole new worl at that length. I had a conference in Van' so I popped in to the Vancouver Aquatic Centre on Thursday to practice my Total Immersion Exercises and then again in the morning to complete Workout #1.

The second workout went way better than the first... My eyes were burning, I was sucking in pool juice through my nose and it was just harder to continue kicking on one side, straight, for 50 metres.

Amazing.

And then I ran into a gal in the change rooms sporting the brown, highly saught after NB 1/2 Iron sweater. We got talking and I experienced another dip in confidence regarding the whole distance thing.... can I really swim for 4 km. I'm not really discouraged, Its more like i'm in the space of a kid who doesn't want to practice her musical instrument anymore but I have not choice- i'm going to do it.

This week I missed out on Yoga- I did fit some in on Wed morning and I've been doing some core... just not enough. I did my weights as well... and tried to do my 4 x 400 metre work out on the treadmill instead b/c of the torrential rain. My knee felt a little angry, though, so I opted to do my 1.5 minute sprints on the eliptical.

C'est tout...

just to say I love the 50 metre pool. I'm a bit agro b/c my strokes are like 54/56 per 50 metres... It is hard work for me to try and be efficient... very tiring trying to stretch out to get in a more efficient and effective stroke. I wonder when it will be easier. I suppose I've just found a limitter and I just need to attack it... on I go.
