Back in the water

I can't even remember learning how to swim, as far as I'm concerned i've always been able to do it. I do remember the occasional lesson such as the one where I lost a tooth at the bottom of the pool, but I don't actually remember the swimming.

After some time away from swimming myself I recently gave it a go again, and let me tell you getting back in the pool is tough! Even if you think you're fit I challenge you to get in a pool and swim. My first session back consisted of the following:

This is exactly what I looked like and it
was only a 25!

300m choice swim for warm up

3x200m freestyle (1.drill 2.kick 3.swim)

6x50 backstroke (my least favourite stroke!)

2x100m IM

4x25m fly

100m swim down

Thats only a total of 1600m! now personally I don't think thats too great but I can tell you my body completely disagreed. I was in agony after but it was nothing a good yoga session couldn't fix.

I can say it was completely worth it, theres nothing quite like a good swim session to relax the mind and body.

Welcome to my world

Hi there! Welcome to my blog, I've been thinking about doing this for a little while but always came up with excuses not to, i've finally taken the plunge and set up this wee blog. This time last year I was a bit pessimistic and didn't feel like I had many good things going for me. The past few months have completely proved me wrong. So I have set up this blog so I can record everything good and things I enjoy doing as a reminder that life is pretty good.
The things that keep me happy and will be appearing on this blog are all things swimming, balanced out by my love of cakes and macarons, what a combination! Also the little things in daily life that I couldn't go without and anything else that brings a smile to my face.
