Air temp 76
Water temp: 57
Lengths: 80
Total miles: 97!
Just a bit crazy.... Even I will admit that today. I could only stand 20 lengths at a time to start, then ten, then six. My fingers were numb by the time I got out of the water. I shivered for a half hour and then fell asleep in the chair. At least now, I have an even number.
I must thank my husband for making this swimming regimen possible all summer. I may have done the miles but he helped so much. He acted as my lifeguard, first aider, maintenance man and cheerleader. We rearranged our activities so that I could be home during the warmest hours of the day. He brought me cold drinks when I was over heated and warm drinks when I was shivering. He did most of the pool vacuuming and added the chemicals. He set up the filter and pump. When I entered the freezing water, he stood nearby in case I had a heart attack. Seriously. Time to take up another sport for a few months!
Our son is home again, very happy, from his college homecoming. This time together has been fantastic!

I did not get my head wet!
