I put on my Nike Swimsuit and went down to the pool today. . .I don't like going cuz there is always pre-adult 20-somethings laying around the pool area perfecting their 'skin cancer' (aka: tans). The pool is just an accesory to give them a reason to gather and parade around in bikinis. Anyways, so I feel weird sometimes lap swimming cuz I am pretty sure I am the ONLY one that utilizes the purpose of having a body of water nearby. Haha~ However, I went down today. . .put on my swim goggles and swam till my body hurt (which sadly didn't take very long). I think I swam for about 20 or 30 minutes is all. I used to be able to swim laps for about an hour without much resting. If I want to ever compete in a sprint tri I definately have to work up my endourance.
I worked on my breast stroke, freestyle(front crawl), side stroke, and the butterfly which is the most difficult stroke. I am sure my legs are going to be sore and my shoulders already feel jello . . .a good sign :) I am hoping to get down to swim at least daily or every other day. I need to watch the pool and figure out when all the Barbies vacate so I can swim laps in peace :) Probably after the sun isn't "Ideal Tanning" time of day.
P90X later today for sure. I am going to get back into my routine so I am in optimal health!!

Hi,
My name is Jamie. I have Cystic Fibrosis and in 2007 I received a double lung transplant. I have not been treated for rejection yet and I accredit most of that to my desire and passion to stay active and keep my body/health in good condition. This is just one of my passions. I am an advanced red cross certified swimmer, I taught swim lessons for years. I have also been working out regularly for over 15 years. In high school I decided I wanted to take control of my health and Cystic Fibrosis so I started running with the track team, doing aerobics/PE every trimester, working with weights and swimming.
I started this blog to track my own personal workout and exercise goals. To feel like I would have to at least answer to myself. A place to share my goals with others and find motivation from anyone who wants to offer any. Please feel free to do so.
This blog is growing into a place where I can track and post my Exercise Goals, Achievements, Failures, and help keep myself motivated. I hope you find inspiration and motivation here as well.
Sincerely,
Jamiebug
