1st milestone
Posted on October 11, 2012 at 6:55am 1 Comment 0 Likes
So I couldnt get a full workout in last time due to time restrictions caused by the wifes' work commitment so I just jumped in the pool.
Turns out I swam the furthest I have swam since I was a teenager!
I managed 32 lengths of the pool- which is about 800m or half a mile!!!!
Sounds so much better when you talk about it in those terms!!!

Looks like my life in the forseeable future will revolve around the Y here- as the snow is coming soon and…

I planned on writing a post every week or month to help keep me honest with the training
Today was day 1of a 22week journey, Started with a 20 minute run and a 200yard…
