Sweating in the pool

Sweating in the pool

A 200 meter swim is no joke.

50m warm up
4x25m
50m cool down

Considering I’ve never ever really swam for distance I was pretty pleased with how this first swim went, but I had a long way to go. That cardio was SERIOUS.

I didn’t officially time these swims today, but I was counting as I swam with the reliable 1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi system. I was doing 25m in roughly 40-45 second each lap. The back of both 50s were hard, I was pushing my endurance levels something serious.

Looking forward to take on this swimming challenge.

Would you rather

A. Sneeze repeatedly while riding your bike (which causes you to momentarily close your eyes and lose your balance)

Or

B. see a giant black snake slithering across the trail yards in front of you

Well both happened. Sneezing while I drive is my least favorite because you briefly lose control, doing it on a bike was way scary. But then seeing a snake for real the first time in my life was terrifying!

Either way I had a stellar 10 mile ride on the Mount Vernon Trail on a beautiful afternoon!

Friday Fast Five

1. I’m in the midst of my 4 day weekend
2. My pool opens this weekend
3. I’m headed to Baltimore tomorrow for the night to celebrate my friend’s 30th
4. Yesterday were my back to back dates. Date number one which was a first date was a bust, so it was nice to look forward to date number 2 which was a second date.
5. Date 2 went much much much better. It was great to see him again and we had even more chemistry this time around. He even told me TWICE how funny I was (be still my heart). Great conversations and cocktails for 4 hours. Upon walking me to my car he laid quite a few kisses on me along the way and he wants to see me again this weekend after I get back from Baltimore!
