Woke at 520 am but went back to bed until 620am to take Courtney to swim team.   In the 10 minutes before getting in my car I decided to put on my bathing suit (not a racing suit-- a cute two piece, not bikini, with a tie at the neck and waist) and brought my goggles in case I got the incling to swim laps.  Well I got there and two larger woman were swimming laps, older mother and daughter.   I watched my daughter's swim team for a bit and then got in the water.  I did one lap as the two women finished a 1/2 lap.  This was my first lap in a long time and since the women told me it was 36 laps to a mile I of course decided to swim a mile.  First time since summer of 2009.  Not sure how I got out of the habit back then other than TOO much running!!  After the first few laps of freestyle I decided I would break for 30 seconds every 12 laps.  The first lap going easy took 49 seconds with going around the two women.  After that my swimming endurance (lack thereof) showed and I averaged 55 to 59 seconds per lap.  Basically it took me 36:10 to swim a mile INCLUDING two 30 second rest periods.  NO FLIP turns as there were built in stairs on one side and the water was only three feet high. They only leave one lane open for nonswim team swimmers and it is on the shallow end.  The swim team was swimming in all the lanes beside me at times causing quite the wave action.  I can tell my breathing is off for the mile right now but I am pretty pleased with my debut mile.  I will have to go back three years on the blog and see what I was swimming then.  I couldn't kick too hard as my lower back needs LOTS of TLC.  My ARMS were TIRED!!    Off to the chiro in one hour.

Oh my gosh the thought of running an entire mile is mind boggling to me! I think the furthest I have every swam is 50 yards. Good job Julie!

thanks guys. I looked back at 2008 (that's actually when I swam not 2009) and I have started pretty much where I started then. I even got my mile swim time to 30:32!! :D something to shoot for. This was easy pace swimming but my breathing needs to get under control again and I need flip turns, that speeds things up and my leg feels much better after adjustment, heat, ultrasound and the STRETCH table!!
