\"fow\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of my training program for the 2016 season, I signed up for a swim class. The summer pool sessions helped me to get going, but knowing that I still need to get better, I added this to the program. Even knowing that this meant 3:30AM wake up calls, I still added it — no pain, no gain, right?<\/p>\n

I’m not going to go into a class by class or blow by blow. The three main bullet points from the week are:<\/p>\n

1) While there were challenges throughout the week, I kept pushing through them. Coach Seay was in the headset and provided not only helpful correction but also encouragement during the drills\/classes.<\/p>\n

2) It seems that one of my biggest hurdles at this point is breathing. Every time I’ve been swimming (from swim team in childhood forward), at most it’s been a breath every two stroke. That’s now getting changed to a breath every four strokes, and my body doesn’t like it. But that’s what I need to be doing to keep moving forward, so that’s what it’ll be.<\/p>\n

3) That even though there were challenges, and my body wants to fight me on the breathing, there was progress forward.I know that it’ll all come together – it’s just going to take time.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to Monday and the start of another fun week of class!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
