Sunday 16th October- Bilston Leisure Centre

Another day another mile. The pool was quiet again, always a bonus! I'm hoping to do another 3 miles and 3 pools when working in Halifax this week- time and energy permitting.

19.75 Miles, 10 pools.

Saturday 15th October- Bilston Leisure Centre

Today I did my fastest mile yet! 40 minutes! I put it down to my athlete's diet- beer and cider, crisps and scratchings in the pub on Friday night! :-D

18.75 miles, 10 pools

Bilston Leisure Centre- Wednesday 12th October

I had a bit more energy for this one! Had a coffee before I left work which is probabaly why! The pool was quite quiet and I had a lane to myself for most of the time - the lane was put on for earlier lessons. I just took it steady and got throught the 80 lengths I wanted to. 1.25 miles. I think that really I needed the break at the weekend but am back on it!

17.25 miles, 10 pools.

Hereford Leisure Pool - Mon 10th October

Wow, didn't quite realise how late I got to the pool! Well done me for managing what I did in the time! Some pools are a bit wierd about sessions being separate, and this was one! Unfortunately, as the pool was 'public swim' 5:30-6:30 and 'lane swimming' 6:30-7:30, somehow they decided that you cant stay in! I guess they'd want  you to pay again, don't know really. I managed to do 48 lengths of this 25 metre pool by 6:30- really can't abide rushing, but lately seem to do a lot of it! So that's 0.75 miles.

Didn't manage to swim at the weekend and really feel the need to do some catching up now, so fingers crossed for a good week! There must be some time and energy around here somewhere...?

16.50 miles, 10 pools.

Bilston Leisure Centre Friday 7th October

Was back at Bilston for a quick mile on Friday, was going out so had to hurry! The pool wasn't too busy luckily!

15.75 miles, 9 pools

Bilston Leisure Centre - Wednesday 5th October

I'm a bit snowed under so left work late and headed to Bilston again- it's on the way home from the office. The pool was quite busy at 6pm but by 7pm it had quietened down and I managed the 80 lengths of the pool (today roped at 25mtres). Yes I was tired, no I didnt want to go, but I did it, 1.25 miles!

14.75 miles, 9 pools

I've done more than I said!

Guys, I must have been very tired when I posted Mondays blog! If you look to the bottom of each blog,  by Saturday I'd done12.75, then I did 0 .75 on Monday and came up with a total of 13 miles somehow!

So....13.5 miles, 9 pools.

Mon 3rd October, Haden Hill Leisure Centre

What a rubbish swim! Having driven back from working in Oxford I finally arrived at the leisure centre, and once in the pool it just got busier and busier! It's not a big pool and even though before I got out I counted 30 people swimming up and down they didnt put any lanes on, so we were all weaving about all over the place! I managed 60 lengths of this 20 metre pool (3/4 of a mile), but what a nightmare! All I can say is that as I got out there seemed to be a lot more people going in! Not the place to go on a Monday night!

13 miles, 9 pools

Saturday 1st October, Crystal Leisure Centre

I think that I was struck with madness, it must be the chlorine, I got to the pool at 8am! On a Saturday! Now the temperature in this pool is tropical, a bit too warm, the water and air temperature dont lend themselves to swimming a mile I can tell you! I think all the swimmers had a case of the Saturday mornings, I was in the fast lane but none of us were tearing up and down, it was a nice gentle one. :-) I still had to have an afternoon nap before I went out though!

 12.75 miles, 8 pools

Fri 30th September - Bilston Baths

I was a busy bunny on Friday, buying a replacement car! I only managed to get to the pool a little while before it shut and so did just 3/4 of a mile. I actually had a lane to myself the whole time, fabulous!

11.75 miles, 7 pools
