mwz: Day 19

Wow, it's day 19 already. It doesn't feel like we've been doing this that long.

Today, I was going to try to swim a mile. I got to the pool a little early to give myself some extra time.

I did not actually swim a mile. I barely managed three quarters of a mile (33 laps). A good part of the last quarter mile was spent doing the "elementary" back stroke with a little bit of something that might be a breast stroke. I was dead at the end.

I know that swimming practice isn't all about the distance, it's about the technique but I think I need to get time in the water to build up my stamina and learn how to swim while tired.

I'm thinking about taking swimming lessons in January.
