i have to write this or brag about this.....can't help it.....
today in master's swimming, we were swimming sets of 100 yards....easy, medium, strong...
up to 9 of them.....
the last one was a time trial and i had to beat my time of 1 minute 23 seconds.....
i haven't swum that fast in two years.....
i honestly didn't think that i could do it.....
then i got all nervous for the timed one.......dumb, huh!
sooooo....we get to the last one.....i rely on cathy dover to pace me because she is faster....
all i can say is that I DID IT!!
i beat my time! my new personal best for this old lady is 1 minute 16.6 seconds!
i was so excited that i had to write it down!

i looked back in my scrapbook from the old swimming times in high school.....
i am only 8 seconds slower than my best time when i was 18!
not bad for a 44 year old lady who is just swimming for exercise!

i never thought that i would say this, but thanks dave ryland for pushing me when i don't want to be pushed.....
i love swimming!
