Holy mackerel, I did 90 laps yesterday at the pool. Definitely a stretch from doing the regular 72. Took me 45 minutes.
I think I figured out that the pool is 25 metres long but I can’t confirm that until I get out the measuring stick. I think it’s half the size of an olympic size pool.
By those calculations, I swam 2.25 kms. It’s good to know if I ever have to take a bet to swim that far, that I know I’ll be able to do it. 😉
I will try and keep the 90 laps up even though it’s a long time. But I’ve been thinking that the 30 minutes in the pool wasn’t cutting it considering I don’t do much else in the physical activity department so perhaps if I bump it up, it will be for the best.
The problem I have with swimming is that I get bored sometimes. I don’t feel in pain from going that long – only when I start. Pain from breathing heavy that is, not any physical pain. So 45 minutes later, I’m just swimming away. I wish that they would come up with some economical water earbuds that would stay in my ears and broadcast wirelessly so I could lose myself in the music.
Faithful readers, what can I do to remain unbored?
