Yup, FINALLY tried it and I was successful!! Funny thing about me that I discovered in this particular event.......I don't do things unless I KNOW inside that I will get the results I am trying to achieve. Interesting.
So today Dick and I ran to the pool - just a short 1/2 mile. I entered the pool feeling really good. I decided after the first 20 lengths that I should try to swim 1 mile without stopping, adding fins or a kick board. I set the pace, kept with it and finished the 64 lengths in 30 minutes. I liked that!
Also when entering the pool, I set the goal of swimming for 1 hour straight. I put the fins on, did 20 with the kick board, 20 freestyle with fins and wanted to finish the rest of this second mile freestyle without fins. After swimming 10 I had to got potty. I got out of my lane, went to the bathroom, came back and an older man was swimming in my lane!!! Should I ask them to swim 3 in a lane or just leave. I chose the later. He was an older man, I didn't want to cause anything so I picked up my fins, kick board, flips, goggles and swim cap and headed back to the locker room. Ah well, not 2 miles in the pool but 1 ENTIRE mile, non-stop in 30 minutes! I'll take it!! Anything extra was, fluff!! YEA!!
Then, took my favorite long way home. I really enjoy the hills of San Francisco. I know. Weird huh? I LOVE the challenge they give me in my walks/runs!! I really feel it in my legs and I know 'THIS must be good for me!!" ahhaha!!! So, I walked the Lyon St. stairs - TWICE and headed over on Green St. I don't usually take Green, but wanted to give it a go. The flowers are in bloom right now so I needed to check out the Green Street gardens! And were there HILLS!!
I took a few pics along the way.....
I LOVE this garden! Shrubs in the front, and inside each shrub is a yellow Clivia! Amazing!!
Only in SF here. REAL 'blown Easter eggs'!! Individually hung on their shrub. Unreal!!
Spring is here, truly my favorite time of the year! Enjoy!
