Swimming Update

first of all, the speedo still kicks ass. love that thing. i think i might be michael phelps on halloween for three reasons.

1. i am really enjoying swimming.
2. i have most of the costume. all i need is a swim cap and a bong.
3. the unintentional (intentional) comedy might win me an award at the halloween party.

today i swam the 50 freestyle in 45 (i'm going to call it 44.47) seconds. i can tell on the big YMCA clock, you bet. that is better than my monday total of 50 seconds (or 49.53 sec.). i also discovered the use of fins. makes swimming the crawl stroke so much easier and i can just focus on breathing to get the lung capacity up. the only thing that sucks is when i take them off to do the last 200 without any help. i feel like the old lady in the lane next to me that is moving but not moving......know what i mean?
