6th 50: 1:32.13
rest: 50.72
7th 50: 1:34.49

decided not to do the last 1-3 50's as I was really running late. I just need to get motivated earlier. Of course if I could swim faster, I could get through the workouts faster too! But as it was, it was less than 30 minutes, so I just need to wake up earlier, especially since these workouts aren't going to get any shorter! I need to build my endurance by quite a bit. I have decided to try to swim 5 mornings each week. I need a lot of work, and I have never had formal training, so whatever I can figure out will help. There is a drill that calls for holding a tennis ball under your chin to make sure you're rolling with proper form when you breathe, I think I will try that. I can't look any more like a fool than I already do! And I swim for me, not anyone else.
Spinning tonight for 60 minutes, and I did spinning last night for 60 minutes. So, I think I'm doing good.

Dorkness OUT!
