I just got back from my swim at the gym. They’re going to do the fifty mile challenge again.<\/p>\n
Basically that means you swim 50 miles between May 1 and August 31.<\/p>\n
Friends, allowing for summer vacations and the like, that’s about 6,000 yards a week!\u00a0 Honestly?\u00a0 I really should do it, as it would keep me active and motivated through the summer.\u00a0 Thing is, I really don’t want to hit the pool but three days a week and I’m not yet back into form enough that a 2,000 yard (~80 lengths) swim is really reasonable.\u00a0 Certainly it has never been a standard-length swim for me. \u00a0\u00a0 I only swam 1,000 this morning.\u00a0 Yes, yes, I have until May 1 to get ready, and if I push it, I can probably get there.\u00a0 I’m tempted to try to swim 2000 on Wednesday1<\/sup>, just to see if I still can<\/em>.<\/p>\n Honestly?\u00a0 I’d like to do it just to say I did it, you know.\u00a0 I suppose that’s rather the point — to encourage people to set goals just, well… ’cause!<\/p>\n Goodness knows it’ll help me with my goal of getting to bed on time.\u00a0 That kind of swimming schedule will have me sleeping pretty hard.\u00a0 Not a bad thing, all told.<\/p>\n But, it’s work time for Mama No\u00ebl, now.\u00a0 Deadlines and proposals and projects, oh my!<\/p>\n 1<\/sup>Yes, yes, I’m supposed to work out every weekday, but as a swimmer, I really need to get some weight-bearing work in for bone strength.\u00a0 If I were walking or running, I really wouldn’t sweat it, but at my age facing the concept of osteoporosis is no joke.\u00a0 I have a date with the squat rack tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just got back from my swim at the gym.
