A good one!!!

I had a swim test today.

10x100's with 10 secs rest in between.

Originally Coach had put it on the schedule for tomorrow, but since I knew today would be a tough day at work (and potentially the only day I could actually fit it a pool workout)  I decided to take advantage of my last "morning workout time" and head out.

I got to the pool and warmed up just as Liz suggested. Looked at the water, concentrated, turned on my watch and off I went.

I pushed hard on this test. My lungs hurt, my stomach churned; but I kept going. It was me against the clock. I wanted to improve since last time.

You know me and the water.. Not exactly best friends. But I think we are getting acquainted pretty well. Why? Because I was able to chop off... 8 seconds of my 100's pace! 

The day at work was super busy, exhausting. But I felt good about what I had accomplished this morning.

As I told Coach... I guess I CAN improve my swimming; now I just have to learn to not freak out in the open water.
