The best therapy for these times is to focus on something new, so the bike ride sounds great! Humans are pretty resilient. That which you think you can't live without will slowly be replaced and life will go on...because it has to.RunningMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269598643448280554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32681913.post-3002200977848199712010-02-02T10:32:08.689-05:002010-02-02T10:32:08.689-05:00Your trip sounds fantastic.

Sorry to hear the swimming is bothering your ankle -- is there a way around that? Like maybe using a pull buoy for more sets to stabilize your legs and keep working the upper body?jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12912676758384794239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32681913.post-32727510997305476632010-01-31T10:37:30.723-05:002010-01-31T10:37:30.723-05:00I never thought about it that way either, but now ...I never thought about it that way either, but now thinking about it, same with my 500, in high school I could pull off 6:00 but now maybe 7? It's a benchmark and you can go from there. You just started and you are doing great! That clothing swap sounds fantastic!N.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07718741327199643323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32681913.post-89201287040556243272010-01-31T00:06:45.856-05:002010-01-31T00:06:45.856-05:00Tough to compare swimming to running like that, al...Tough to compare swimming to running like that, although I think I know what you're getting it. The faster masters swimmers are probably doing something like 6:15-6:30 for a 500... So I *suppose* if you wanted to compare you could compare your 500 to your mile run time? I've never really thought of it that way but it could make sense. :) I consider myself to be a swimmer rather than a runner, and my 500yd swim time is probably right about the same as the fastest mile I could run. That said, it sounds like you're doing great for just getting started! I am 100% sure that if you swim regularly over the next month that next time you test that 500 it'll be a good bit faster. Keep it up! And your summer cycling goal sounds awesome! :)Michelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.com
