I did it, I went to the YMCA ready to swim. I waited 15 minutes for the Wylie swim team to finish, and I got in the water. I swam 200 meters and then my goggles strap broke. I tied it together and did another 200 meters and it broke again in another place. In the end I could not wear them anymore so I swam the backstroke and used the kick board some of the time to work out my legs.
I swam for 30 minutes and only did 800 meters :( and I have to stop every 50 meters to catch my breath! I wish I knew how to do the turns, I feel like I'm in a rhythm and then I am at the other end and stop.
All in all though it was a good workout, I enjoyed it and felt good but tired when I got out. I am looking forward to keeping it up and improving.
I think I may take some lessons, learn the turns, get someone to watch my form and tell me how I can improve. I would also like to work hard at it and do a triathlon sometime during this year, but I need to get comfortable with the swim. So I think I'll look into the lessons!

- This blog used to chronicle my running experiences, many of which are inspiring and uplifting. Some of which are frustrating. Now this blog will chronicle all of the activities I enjoy and the inspiration I find here in our Colorado home. Growing up in New Mexico the mountains have always called to me. But Texas is where we moved when we graduated college. We had, after all, to make some money! We stayed in Texas much longer than expected and it was good to us and to our children who were raised there. But the dream was always to get back to the land we love. And so in 2016 we moved from Texas to Colorado and life here has been beyond our expectations. I will try to keep up with writing, if for no other reason than to help me express my love for these mountains the activities they give us.
