swim a mile

I finally did it! I swam a mile!! Yay! 72 laps is a mile at my pool. The most I could ever do was 60. Tonight I did 72.

I swam 50 laps today! 72 is a mile but I’m getting closer!

The pool is especially crowded on the weekends. But I got there right at the opening and swam a quick 25 before the throng of people got there. I am very happy that I was able to to do 50 laps! I’m so tired though. :)

I went to the doctor yesterday and I’ve lost 7 pounds in a month or so and my blood pressure has gone down a lot! Yeah! Thank you swimming! I did 44 laps the other day (36 is half a mile). I’d love to reach 50 some day soon!

So my weight has gotten out of control this year. My goal is to lose a minimum of 40 pounds. I started swimming in August and love it. It’s relaxing, exercise I actually enjoy doing, and look forward to it. My goal is to eventually get up to swimming a mile. 72 laps is a mile at my local pool. I did 40 laps last night (so just over 1/2 a mile). I have much more stamina and can swim laps without stopping to rest. I just need to get my speed up now.
