Wow!  Today was quite a challenge to get any type of workout in. I’ve been strictly running since the end of November and thought I better start swimming again.  I knew the gym is bad in January, full of all the well intentioned trying to improve their health.  I typically work out all year round, but tend to avoid the gym in January since it is crowded, stuffy and hot.

Since I work for myself, I tried to think when the least busy time is and chose 10:15am , boy was I wrong!!  Good thing I decided to swim as there wasn’t any cardio machine available.  There were lanes open amazingly!  But afterward, I had to wait in line for a shower and then there wasn’t a spot open to put my makeup on and dry my hair, so I left sopping wet with no makeup on!  Guess I’ll go back to running for a while until the gym lightens up, that was ridiculous!

I haven’t been in the pool since June 5!  I’ve done a few open water swims over the summer, but didn’t keep track of time/distance.

I only swam about 1900 yards and it just about killed me!  I plan on joining Master’s again once the kids are back in school, but need to work up to doing 2500+ yards in an hour- yikes!!
