Day 3

Saturday 7th Nov Yesterday was the third day of swimming this week, and tho my watch told me I did 1950m, I think it was only 70 lengths, or 1750m in 57 minutes. Which is still a whole lot longer than I've swum in a very long time... I'm feeling it today. Definitely need to investigate some lessons.. Share

Here goes...

Thursday 5th Nov It's only 8 months since the new hip, and it's all still new and exciting. Working on my rehab and also working out what is possible.  It's only recently that I've started to up my swimming distance and frequency, and I am also trying to improve my technique (think I might need some lessons...). Thanks to my former Ironman Triathelete cousin Barbara I've said I will complete a much longer distance in a swim in the summer (open water) which will be a whole new and very daunting thing, but in the meantime,  I'm hoping this challenge to complete 10km in November will be a good incentive to keep going, and a useful step up along this journey I'm on, whilst also usefully (I hope - thank you!) raising some money for a good cause.  Share
