I finished my Olympics Challenge this morning! 16,025 yards in 16 days.
This has actually been an awesome swimming week for me. A friend of mine who swam in high school decided to join the Y and we met up 4 times this week to swim. I've known since college that having a workout buddy is really key for me. If I know someone is waiting for me, there is no way I'm going to stand her up.
We swam Monday morning, and then the last 3 mornings. I completed the challenge with 0 days and 25 yards (ie, 1 lap) to spare! Nothing like cutting it close.
My friend and I are already planning to swim next Monday, I have Masters swimming on Tuesday, and then she's going to join me for strength training class on Wednesday. I'm sucking her into the world of swimming at the Y, and at the same time getting myself into a great routine.
I've also been doing really well with eating all week and I can feel it. The good, clean eating plus 4 swims means I have a major endorphin buzz right now.
I wish I could bottle this feeeling somehow, so that I could remind myself how awesome it feels to BE HEALTHY. Why is it so hard to remember that?
