Wow! Dedicated to not drowning in Texas, eh? Great job!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for swimming and not drowning!!
ReplyDeleteI get pink eye from the kids about once a year. Every time I'm reminded that my glasses are from before kids. New glasses in 2012! That's my motto LOL.
Hilarious! It is kind of gross that you swam with pink eye. I am sure you are glad to have the first swim out of the way!!
ReplyDeletePink eye is the worst! One of the evils of swimming in a community gym pool. Good thing you didn't drown! www.dashingdiva.net
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! Nothing can hold you down :) p.s. wish I could swim but I would most likely drown
ReplyDeleteI like that you DID "didn't drown". I think swimming in the morning is a huge accomplishment, any distance. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI have never been a swimmer but just started going to the pool this week. I am loving it! Sorry about the pinkeye. Ew.
ReplyDeleteWell, everything except the pinkeye and running in the winter cap sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOh my word I wish I could have seen you running in the winter hat inside! You gotta do what you've gotta do!! Nice job on not drowning!
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight. YOU SWAM?!
ReplyDeleteWoot, way to go girl!! You'll be busting out 2000+ m in no time.
I'm really glad you didnt drown :)
ReplyDeleteI'm teaching my husband to swim right now as he gets ready for a new super-job. I notice most people who struggle with freestyle do not have an efficient kick. Start with a kick board and get long legs with floppy feet. You get get fast, faster by breaking it all down :)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I would call it a win too!
ReplyDeleteIt takes someone very brave to go after something new and scary. Awesome!! With your determination and athletic ability I have NO doubt that you will be rocking that poo in now time at all. 70.3 is all yours :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better!!!
O' crap... Pinkeye?! Nice SWIM!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! One of my primary goals for my tris has always been "don't drown".
ReplyDeleteWoohoo go on with your swimming self!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking into swim lessons right now. I want to complete my first marathon before I do my first triathlon, but I figured I'm going to need a ton of help with my swimming efforts. Good job not drowning!
ReplyDeleteI love that you didn't drown! That is a HUGE check on the win side! You ROCK!!! I always keep eye drops in my medicine closet, pink eye and strep are the two illnesses of choice in this house!
ReplyDeleteYay for not drowning!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGetting up at 4:30 is already impressive, but getting up to swim is bad ass :)
ReplyDeleteDoes the pinkeye match your pink compression knee-his? Sorry...bad joke :P
ReplyDeleteAwesome on the swimming! I couldn't do it... well, I don't want to do that :P But you are a rockstar cuz you DID!
Hope your eye is all better soon :)
