swimming

5 & 1/2 weeks!

5 & 1/2 weeks until my summer shall begin. 5 & 1/2 weeks! This is exciting because I cannot wait to not have school but this is nerve wracking because I have a lot of school work to do before the semester is over!

Summer dreams:

Fresh corn on the cob

Gardening ❤ (though I have been doing some spring gardening!!)

KENNYWOOD! (Pittsburgh’s amusement park)

More time with friends 🙂

WATERMELON. (I will post more about my love for watermelon sometime soon.. it is truly scary)

Triathlons

Pirates games!

This list could go on and on. AND ON. But I will stop here before I get real weird. Other things on the list: Sleeping in/staying up late, my church’s vacation Bible school, bonfires, light at night, cold coffee, smoothies, lemonade, eating outside, heat, more work, swimming, running, and sleep overs! I am one of those people who is always excited for the next season so I am trying to focus on enjoying spring too!

What are YOUR summer dreams?

Swim meet tomorrow morning

This time tomorrow morning (6:50AM) I will be on my way to a swim meet. It is called The Polar Bear Plunge. (Brrr!)

(YMCA State Championship @ PSU circa 2009. Yes, I am dancing.)

I got to pick most of my events but I couldn’t swim some of my favorites because I qualified for “higher” meets in those races. I will be swimming: (My seed times are wrong because I am on a new team so my coaches guessed, I hope to knock them out of the park!)

100 yard butterfly – 1:25.75 (I can get around a 1:12ish..if I try HAHA)

200 yard breaststroke – 2:58.15 (Not sure what my real time is in this?!)

100 yard freestyle – 1:08.15 (I typically get a 1:04, but I got a 59.00 once!)

We were super excited…

So there you have it. I posted some times on the internet.. oh no!! LOL. I could care less. I will post the times that I got at this meet on Saturday night or Sunday.

My goals for this swim meet:

-Beat all of my seed times, by a lot.

-Cheer my little sister on (She is swimming the 50 fly, 100 I.M., & 50 breast)

-Stay loose/stretched out

-Get homework done in my down time

-Have a good time!

Obviously I know how to have a good time 😉 Look, the news is on!!

I am ready for this meet tomorrow morning. My next meet might be in March, which is a big gap but I will have a lot of time to work on what ever I do wrong at this meet! Well I am off to start my Friday.

Bible Verse of the day:

You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Psalm 32:7
