Mile Swim

Oh my holy crap! Never in my mind did I ever think that I could possibly swim a half mile...let alone a mile...36 laps (a lap is down and back)!! I've been stressing a lot about the mile that I was scheduled to swim today. For the half mile I got a little over a half hour(the time limit) so I was really nervous b/c if we went over the time for the mile (which was one hour)then we would get docked 5 points per minute. Ya...made me really nervous. Especially since my shoulder has been acting up and aching pretty bad. I started swimming the mile this morning and by about halfway through I could feel my body start to give out. I honestly started praying right there as I swam that I'd be able to just finish it. Well, I finished it, and my time was 55:37!!!!! I was only about a minute slower than the rest of the boys so that made it even better! So I got full points, as well as knowing that I am in great physical shape! I love swimming:)
