Week 5 already?

Time is supposed to slow down when you are on a diet - er, a healthy living program. Why then does it feel like the last couple of weeks have become turbo-charged? The days are positively whipping by. I have been down the coast these past few days which has added to the feeling of "where has my week gone and what have I got to show for it?" It's so hard to stay on track when your routine is disturbed. That's not something I thought I would say. It's certainly not something I could say in the past few years when everything seemed so out of control.

So what have I done this past week? Things that I am proud of? Three things:

• I signed up for the MS Mega Swim on 2-3 May. It's a 24-hour continuous swim relay done in teams of 15 people. What a way to finish Round 1 2013 of 12WBT!
• On Saturday I went to my Masters swimming club and put my name down for an 'Endurance' swim. It is a timed swim. I had to do my 300 metre fitness test swim but had buggered up the timing doing it myself so I signed up for a 400 metre swim and did it then and there! I asked that they record my 300 metres time on the way through to 400 metres so I knew the time I would report in my stats would be true. I had been too shy to try it before. But I thought what better for a 12WBT Mini Milestone Challenge that to JFDI.
• Today I did a 200 metre Individual Medley. The last time I did that I was a teenager.
