Perfect Friday Night

I had a fantastic swim on Friday night! After the rough week I had, I was expecting to be tired and lethargic. I wasn’t! I swam fast and had perfect form. My energy level felt like I had just taken espresso shots. It was the best swim I’ve had in weeks.

I also wore my new swimsuit. My old one ripped last week and it was just time to suck it up and buy a new one. The swimsuits I buy are made for lap swimmers. Polyester doesn’t fade or discolor as fast as other types of swimsuits. With the amount I swim, my suits last about a year. Polyester suits are also more expensive. My suit runs between $80-100. Since I switched from a chlorine to a salt water pool, my suits have lasted even longer. Yep here’s me in my new suit (I got black this time).

Swimming

I did:
40 lengths freestyle without stopping
10 lengths breaststroke
6 lengths kickboard only
10 lengths freestyle with leg buoy
4 lengths backstroke
10 lengths freestyle with leg buoy and hand paddles
10 lengths freestyle with hand paddles

Before I went swimming, I posted on Twitter that I hoped Michael would have a cold, adult beverage ready for me when I got home from the pool. I posted it as a joke but boy, he came through!

I walked in the door after swimming and was handed a cold, tasty brew!
