cotton candy

Masters swimming

The Pirates game on Sunday was awesome (they won!) and hot. I put sunblock on only to sweat it off about 2 minutes later! Pictures from the game:

$6 for a bag of cotton candy *sigh*

We look tan?!

Leopard bra + baggy tank top = bad idea haha

Since it was SO hot outside Hannah, Molly, and I went in the shade and stumbled upon a prize wheel. You had to be 18 or over to spin it so we got in line because I’m over 18! (by more than a year) and when we got to the front of the line the woman who was going to let me spin totally didn’t believe I was 18. She was like “Are any of you 18?” I was like “Yeaaaaaah i’m 19” UGH! Needless today, I spun the wheel and won a Pirates coffee sleeve that my brother put on his coffee this morning before work.

Today I did something different and new!!

I swam with a masters team this morning from 6:00-7:00AM

Only 3 other people swam and I loved having my own lane! I didn’t realize how much I missed swimming with a team and having an actual practice. When I swim on my own at my gym I don’t push myself… at all. It was strange to be “pushed”!

I really enjoyed swimming with older people because it was totally different from a club/high school/college team where stress is involved in each practice: getting there every day, being on time, swimming hard every practice, getting good times in meets.

I like to swim, and I love to swim on my own terms.

Do you like to exercise with a team or on your own terms?
