it has only just occurred to me that i’m dressed like an extra in the “girls just want to have fun” music video. why i never kept my rubber bracelets is beyond me.

at the pool
my mile came in at 48:12, 780 calories burned for the total swim. not bad for a monday.
so my nifty difty stop watch told me that even though i only kicked half a mile in 30 min, i burned 479 calories. generally an hour with a mile and some extra laps comes in at about 700ish calories. a) swimming is awesome crazy calorie burning madness and b) just kicking is way harder than swimming.
because i love myself enough to swim
i have been trapped in one of those horror movies where there’s only one character: me – and i’m doing all the terrorizing. it’s been rough to say the least. eight days ago, the merman went away on business leaving me and lil’ flipper on our own. we had a fun week planned swimming, science […]

0my mile came in at 58:49. so i did another 100 just because. and to think i was going to stay home.
i am a bit of a spoiled princess. i admit it
i’m super grateful for the bully that called me “disabled” at the y. i know what you’re thinking, “what? really? thankful for a hateful bully?” yes. you better believe i am grateful for her, because her hate speak taught me an invaluable lesson. i am a bit of a spoiled princess. i admit it. i […]

Flip Turns Made Easy
i mentioned in an earlier post about messing up a flip turn. for you all out there who are new to swimming and can’t imagine what i’m referring to, this is it. when it’s done right, it’s floating perfection and a seemingly effortless movement. when it’s done wrong, you look like you’re drowning – […]
