Taz's diary - Need to do this!

Hiya Taz, welcome to my world of the sun rising early in the morning!!!

I have worked out that over 2 visits I would need to do 30 lengths one time and 29 the second time. Does that sound about right for a 50m pool? I am seriously considering it though.
 
I think that would be more like 4 visits per week - I was working it out on 32ish per session for me x
 
Ah..... that would make a big difference
 
I used the calculator thingy on the link and it said 59 lengths. As I say, I will have to get into some serious training if I'm going to do it because I haven't swum very far for so long . . .
 
Rainbow - Great to see you here again, hope you are doing well x

Nomad - Yes that would be right for a 50m pool, twice the length half the amount! Wow, that's a big pool!

Gem - that would be quite time consuming!
 
Evening all! Went for a swim again this afternoon but as yesterday was change-over day it was packed in there this afternoon! Complete with a group of lads pratting about and trying (unfortunately unsuccessfully) to drown each other. It was difficult to get any straight line swims but we managed to do 60 widths/900m so that was ok. I have worked out that this week I have swam 4200m which isn't bad!
 
had to laugh at your bracketed comment! yup, am doing well thanks, day 2 over with now, really thought id struggle tonight cos been at a family BBQ, but totally resisted, am quite proud of myself x

I don't know how you do it hun, I have trouble resisting when I am allowed food! But doesn't it feel good when you are on track and doing what you are supposed to be doing?! On a family day out last year I turned down an ice cream and had a fruit salad instead. That felt good, I really need to find that head again!

I went to Tescos yesterday afternoon and weighed myself and according to their scales I am 5lb up!

Had to go back to Tesco today for some supplies for travelling home tomorrow and got back on their scales. It seems that 5lb has now gone! I hope they are accurate! I will find out tomorrow when I get home just how accurate they are.

Got another 825m done in the pool this morning. It was really busy so not easy to swim but I got a good lot done so that's ok. This week in total I have swam 5025m so I am happy with that
 
There are some things I am looking forward to with going home. Not having the sun in my face at 4am is definately one of them! It's been a really nice chilled week with lots of swimming and not a lot else and we do like our caravan holidays but it will be good to get back to routine.
 
I intend to. I am hoping Kat will join me for it so we will have to get a proper plan together
 
No I got that impression when you first started talking about the channel challenge. I'm sure that once she starts getting into it and she can see that it's having an effect on her body, she'll get into it.
 
hey, wow, well done on all the swimming, Im going to aquq aerobics tonight. Im part way through day three now and still going strong..... yer it feels great to feel in control again x
 
I used to do Aquafit, it was good fun. I had to stop going though as the times cashed with my training
