running and swimming and running
Last night I was lucky enough to have an accomplice for a swim session in the shape of Paul (Portrunr). He is a lot more 'advanced' than me you could say - and in fact his breakstroke was loads faster than my freestyle... but hey - gotta start somewhere :) it was good fun having someone to chat to in between laps in particular. at least when i was able to keep less than a lap between us!
(oh yeah - i did 1300m freestyle - first aim is to build up to 2k)
This morning I had 35 mins/ 5k on the program. lucky it was an easy session because I think that the swimming does make my legs pretty tired even though they don't feel tired just to walk around. I ended up with 5.15 km in about 34.30 or something like that. avg pace 6.31 (hehe - nearly typed 4.31!!).
But after that - I am tired. It is only 8.30 - but I'm exhausted!
I'm flying back to Perth tonight for a long weekend which I am looking forward to. Been missing my fam a lot and all my mates. I have a 10 year school reunion as well which is going to be a bit of a shock to the system... 10 years... who would have thought. The last time I ran into someone from school they didn't believe it was me and were like 'you're a grown up!'... hmm yes, well in body anyway :)
Thanks for all the suggestions about goals. I have lots of plane time to think about that stuff and will report back (but all suggestions gratefully accepted!)

Luckily my brother is moving to Perth next year and that will give me an excuse to go back and somewhere to stay.
gee - even I don't get to swim with Paul - and I'm a fellow local!
Have yourself a great time showing off the new you to the school. Perhaps try and drop a suggestion like you have since invented post-it notes or something ...
Congrats on all the goal achievements Ellie but be very careful with that swimming caper!
Enjoy your trip to Perth ;-)
lol to miners, but I've only been swimming 2-3 weeks and he's only done like 1 session in that time! :P
Great to catch up for the swim Ellie and thanks for the tips You're doing heaps better than I was for at 2nd session - I was a mess!!
Have a great trip :)
Good luck with the swimming, you are doing well, 1300m for a second session is nice going.
It would be my 10 year reunion this year aswell, I only keep in touch with a couple of people from school now, a bit sad really.
Enjoy your reunion, it would be an interesting experience seeing what everyone has been up to. Have a great trip catching up with your family 'n' friends aswell.
