Week 10

I swam 50 lengths yesterday and 50 lengths today.

I'm at 1140 now.

276 left to go in the last two weeks.

Exciting isn't it. No.

Have you sponsored me yet??

In other news, I weigh considerably less on the scales at the gym than I do on my home scales, but I still weigh the same at my house and overall I'd say that doesn't tell us a lot. So technically, my master plan of weight loss has still not materialised...

The lush lifeguard was on his lunch break at the time I was swimming today, but I passed him in the street, just before I got to the gym and he did a little eyebrow raise style "Hello", which I'm almost certain meant, not just Hello, but: "Hey, you are an absolute hottie, would you like to go for a drink sometime?" Yes I'm almost certain that is what it meant. Almost certain. Yes.

OK That is all now. Cheers x

Just a quickie...


Swam 80 lengths today. I'm past 1000 - 1040 to be exact... So 376 remaining now!

80 lengths - took roughly an hour: 2km though, all in one go - my longest swim yet.

Well I'm in Rome until Wednesday of next week, so unlikely to get much swimming done there.

Have a nice week x

The Latest In Swim-Land – Week 9 already.

The 22 miles in 12 weeks Aspire Channel Swim Challenge continues with the overall target of 1416 lengths to cover.

We are in week nine now. Over the last eight and a bit weeks, I have swum* 20 times, covering 960 lengths.

I have three and a bit weeks left until the challenge ends and 456 lengths left to cover. I should be able to do this in about nine more visits to the pool.

Come On People. This is do-able...

If you haven’t sponsored me yet, maybe you’d like to do it now??? Or maybe you would prefer not to sponsor me and I understand that too.

For regular followers. I still haven’t lost any weight from this challenge, but the lifeguard did smile, wave and mouth hello at me today… Oh yeah! : )

*swum? That word just doesn’t sound right, but the spell check didn't kick, so it must be fine.

FANX AGAIN.

V Quick update...

7 weeks.
16 Swims
750 lengths.

I should really have got to about 830 lengths by now, but I can't blog any more plans or tactics to make up the defecit, I'm just trying not to drown in the horror of the challenge for now.

Cheers.
