This is a blog I created in August 2008 to keep up with my progress back in the swimming world. Prior to the Summer of 2008 I haven't really done a swimming workout in 15 years when I was about 75 lbs. lighter! My main motivation is for the health benefits and having something to train towards....but really there are SO many other benefits.

Saturday- August 15, 2009
Swam open water this morning with 80 other folks at Red Top Mtn on Lake Allatoona. I only completed 1 lap of the of course (1.2 miles) but I lead everyone by a fair margin. I wanted to do some Kayaking so after my lap I jumped in the kayak to help keep an eye on everyone until they finished how every many laps they wanted. Then I kayaked around the edge of the lake for about 90 minutes.....good shoulder workout today!
