We both swam 800 meters and hit up the spa afterwards. All four of my sets 200 meters were under 7 minutes and 30 seconds. I am certainly getting faster and more consistent. Amanda’s corner: All my sets were over 8 minutes. I’m recovering from an injury and babying my shoulder for a bit. I’m just surprised I made it 800 m at all. -Amanda Out

1.15 mile walk Half an hour of stretching I have upped the speed that I walk. I am working on getting to a nice little jog.

Today was Amanda’s training day with Trainer J! J was out last week with an injury, we skipped lifting the Sunday before that and walked this Sunday, so this week is lifting on Monday and Wednesday after not lifting for almost 2 weeks. Fun.

Today we suffered in water. Jenn made it 800 meters, Amanda only made it 600. Amanda’s shoulder injury acted up and she didn’t want to kill it. The pool was overly busy.

1 mile walk Half an hour of stretching We had a lively discussion around Amanda’s interview and the lecture I went to last night. I think I love these walks because of our discussions.

1 mile walk Half an hour of stretching We were going to discuss Amanda’s upcoming interview but chatted about everything else under the sun.

We came to the gym an hour earlier than normal. It was quiet and we both were tired. The most common said word between the two of us was, “Ugggghhhhhh”. We are not morning people.

1 kilometer in 5 sets of 4 50m laps. It was a cold morning again today and for the last three sets the sun was in my eyes but I did it. I also had two sub 7 minute sets. Maybe I should start trying to add a crawl in.
