So far so good. This morning was the first in a very long time that I got up and was out the door by 7.30am to go swimming! After my 3rd glass of wine last night ( yes not good ) I thought, maybe I'll get up on Monday morning instead. However, my kind 3 yr old this morning was wide awake at 6.30 am so by 7, I thought sod it I might as well go swimming. Luckily for me, we are at my Mums this weekend, so I left my mum to it and I quietly slipped out and drove to the local swimming pool. I couldn't quite believe that I had made myself go but was also very smug with myself!
Having arrived on the poolside I almost talked myself into not getting in! What's that all about? I had to do it, what was I going to write about? More to the point I have told family now that I am going to write a blog so don't want to let myself down.
I joined a lane with one other swimmer and started on my swim. I hate with a passion, swimming in lanes that are full of swimmers doing breaststroke or an attempted version of frontcrawl, even though they are in the fast lane! This morning was an exception. It wasn't very busy and I shared a lane with a breaststroker but who was fairly fast and was accomadating when I overtook her every so often.. Anyway, I started off doing 2 sets of 8 lengths then thought |I've got to do more! I ended up doing 5 sets of 8 lengths, so that, in my calculation is 40 lengths. Ok, so it's not a major workout but for the first morning I don't think it was that bad. I felt brilliant driving home and already thinking about the next morning I might go swimming.
It's sunday afternoon now and I'm pretty whacked now. Have been to the park with my kids, niece, nephew and mum and then we've been swimming with them! Busy old day. Now I just want to put my feet up with a glass of wine! Might have to start thinking about reducing the wine intake if I am going to get up early some mornings to exercise.......
