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.

Sunday- May 12,2013
So I'm finally getting back in the pool and starting from scratch. It's been 15 months since I've gotten in the pool and I know it's gonna be a long road back. I'm overweight and way outta shape but I did get in yesterday and my body and muscles still remember how to swim and I actually felt okay...although slow and no endurance whatsoever.
So the county I live in just opened a new $16M facility that is pretty awesome and is only 3-4 miles from my house. Tomorrow will be the first step in a journey of a thousand miles. I probably will not compete until 2014 and again will train and write my own workouts. I was pretty successful the few years when I came back to swimming so why change that...plus my coaching and workouts are FREE!
Here are a few pics of the new facility:
