So, today I....

today I started swimming lessons. 45 minutes in the pool with a teacher named "Tiffany" who is all of maybe 19, about my height and perhaps 100 lbs, but I'm going to err on the heavy side because I know muscle weighs more than fat.
It was a HOOT. In my group, the people who could swim but need stroke improvement, there was just me, a guy named Larry and Tiffany the teacher. Poor Tiffany was scared to death of us, you could tell. Every time we completed a lap she'd get this petrified smile on her face and say "that wasn't bad". Boy does my technique suck. I nearly drown trying to figure out when to breath and when to not breath on the front crawl. But it was fun and an hours worth of exercise.
So... this past week:
Monday - walked 5 k
Tuesday - did some upper body stuff
Wednesday - Waked 3 K
Thursday - more uppy body stuff
Friday - Walked 5 k
Saturday - Raced for 3 hours (short handed) Then drank rum and ate pepperoni and salmon, which kind of negates the rest of the week, but oh well.
Sunday - Swam for just under an hour.
Yay me!
Speaking of sailing... oh, I'll make another post. Just sit tight...
