First Team Swim!!

WOW! How fun! Last night I participated in my first team swim practice. I had a great time! It is so much more enjoyable (and productive) to swim with the team and the coaches! We did drills and techniques to help with our body positioning. It was very nice to have feedback from coach Julie, Coach Glen, and my lovely mentor Matilda. I felt more at ease and felt like I was actually doing the strokes right... or at least correcting as I went along. It's amazing to see what a difference a little accountability makes. I've been doing my swimming mostly in my twice a week swim lessons at my local pool. Don't get me wrong, i love the class and love love love swimming with my dear friend Christine, but I'm not very focused on much except fun. :-) Honestly, I'm new to the concept of self-discipline... well, not the concept isn't new, but the practice of it is. TNT is proving to be good for me on soooo many levels.

I'm looking forward to tonight, TNT is offering an injury prevention clinic. I must say, TNT is GREAT for giving us all the tools we need to be successful in this entire enterprise. THANK YOU TEAM IN TRAINING!!!! You Rock! Oh, and I just found out, there's still time to join the Marathon (walk/run) and Cycle teams with Team in Training if you want to get in on this awesome experience. Especially if you were already planning to do the Portland Marathon, or dream of doing the Nike Women's Marathon (or half) in San Francisco.

'Til next time!
