I DID IT!
Sunday 28th Jun At the start of this week I had 240 lengths to do and thought I would need my buffer days, however as I was away the weekend watching Lewis Capaldi I cracked on and did 240 in 4 swims, meaning I have completed my challenge with a few days to spare. It has definitely been harder than I thought it would be. Wanting to go for a swim and having to, are 2 different things. But I have got quicker and I am hoping I continue with at least 3 swims a week.
End of week push
Sunday 21st Jun Had to drag myself out of bed this morning. Good job I did, as it quietened off near the end and I cracked on to do a personal best of 80 lengths!!! I am currently at 14km with 6km, 6000 metres or 240 lengths to go. I am away next weekend and so I am more than likely going to have to use my buffer days of the 29th and 30th to complete the challenge X on the home run .... Sorry swim 😀 Share
Pulling it back
Saturday 20th Jun Started this week on Monday with a solid 60 lengths. Thursday morning was planned for 40, but because it was so quiet in the p00l I cracked on and did another 60! It meant I was late logging into work, but they completely support what I am doing , so all good. Friday was a busy day, sow lane was fully booked so back in the middle lane , which makes me work harder and another 4o done. Thanks again for everyone's support 🥰 Share
Pulled it half back
Monday 15th Jun i did manage to do 40 on Friday lunchtime and completed 60 on Sunday, hitting the pool at 8am! I am 40 lengths behind in my plan, due to the little prick, but have 2 buffer days at the end of June if needed. Thanks for all of your continued support x Share
COVID JAB stops me swimming
Friday 12th Jun I had a COVID jab Tues, and I have felt like pants, so I have been unable to do my planned swims. Hoping to do a small one today and 60 on Sunday, but it does mean that I am now on catch up x Share
Swim No 5
Monday 8th Jun A surprising quiet morning at the pool, made the 60 lengths, 1500 metres or 1.5 km enjoyable 😁 Share
Sunday 7th Swim 4
Sunday 7th Jun Another assault course day in the pool so I decamped to the medium lane for a bit and swam with the big kids. 60 lengths, 1500 metres or 1.5 km. Finishing week 1 on track with 200 lengths, 5000 metres or .5km x Share
Fri 5th swim 3
Saturday 6th Jun Well Friday was an up out swim and into work day. It was busy in the lanes so a bit like an assault course, but did the 40 lengths I aimed for. That's another 1000metres or 1 km, so chipping away Share
Day 2 and Swim 2
Tuesday 2nd Jun Up and out before work this morning. Far too many people in the slow lane to make it an enjoyable swim. Lots of start/stops. But I got to my goal of 40. That's 1000 metres or 1km. I will not be able to go tomorrow but I will be body jamming in the evening 😍 Share
Swim 1 complete
Monday 1st Jun Day 1 and swim 1 of the challenge. I have not swam since me holibobs so knew it was going to be a slog, and I was like swimming through treacle, but I got through it. 60 lengths, 1500 metres or 1.5km 💪 bring it on Share
Pre Swim
Saturday 30th May When in hols last week, I spent every day in the pool, so when I saw this pop up on FB I thought "I can do that". Now I am back to work, rehearsing for a play and prepping for a new kitchen I am starting to think when will I have the time. But I have a cunning plan and aim to swim 4 times a week. I will keep you updated on how I getv on, Alison x ShareThank you to my Sponsors
