Workout, Day 7

I hit my first goal. I swam 500 metres.

Now, Jeff might not think that’s much, but I think it’s significant for someone who learned to swim at nearly 15, has never taken a swimming class, and started working out again a week ago.

Here’s what I did:

1. Front crawl: 250 m
2. Breast stroke: 250 m

I even reduced my breaks. About half of my laps were free of breaks, and when I did break it was just a few seconds — long enough to take my pulse.

My next goal is to get to 1 km.

I live in Lethbridge with my spouse and 5 of our 6 children. I’m a writer, focusing on social issues and the occasional poem. My politics are radically left. I recently finished writing a book debunking several capitalism myths. My newest book writing project is on the labour history of Lethbridge.

I’m also dichotomally Mormon. And I’m a functional vegetarian: I have a blog post about that somewhere around here. My pronouns are he/him.
