Progress

Well, progress has been made tonight! I swam 1075m - yes, that's right I swam over a kilometer! 

That's a lot of widths I hear you cry! Well, yes it would be, except I wouldn't know... Seen as I swam it all in lengths! RESULT! I am now a fully bona fide lane swimmer, it might be the slow lane but it's a lane all the same and I'm so pleased with the progress I've made in just a few short weeks.

The aim now is to keep around that distance and work on linking as many lengths together without stopping... I some how don't think I will be able to put my feet down in the Thames so really need to build up my non-stop-ability :-)

It was also really nice to have some company on my swim tonight too, other than the weird man that always used to try talking to me in the widths area - my sister-in-law is going to try and swim with me once a week as long as it fits around her work.  She really spurred me on tonight, I was ready to stop at 32 lengths (half a mile) but with her encouragement I made it to the 1km mark!! Now just got to twist her arm to do the Great London Swim with me next year... COME ON MEG!!!
