Keep Going Becky beck

I have to keep reminding myself that once I'm done swimming 400 meters, I'll need to bike 12 miles and run (I won't be running, but we can pretend) 3 miles.

Although I've been putting most of my focus on the swim, I did do some walk-running one night last week and look at my view!

This view, accompanied by Andrea Bocceli = pretty great.

Every morning this week, at 7am sharp, I had my swim lessons with Lisa.

On the way to her house I would pass this...

I felt like it was a sign - keep going Becky Beck, don't you quit.

Lisa's friend Jesse (blue suit) came too.

She swims much better than I do, but wanted some help with her freestyle skills.

She's a breast cancer survivor and amazing.

I started the week barely being able to get across the short width of the pool, and by today I swam the entire length, almost with ease.

I went to the Taylorsville pool Monday - Thursday to practice and I am so happy with my progress in just a week's time.  

God bless Lisa, and God bless the older gentleman swimming laps while I was practicing.

It was as if he was showing me the perfect pace and form I needed.

Hopefully he didn't notice me creeping him, but I had to get a video so I could study his moves.

And can I tell you, I can't remember the last time I was so tired.

Swimming is a freaking workout.

In other news.

We had a little flood in the basement.

It ruined the carpet and pad and put in motion a full basement facelift.

I've been wanting to get rid of the carpet for some time now, so I'm not that sad about it.

Stay tuned for the transformation.
