Back home again.

Hello! I am really sorry I have not been blogging lately but I couldn't log on to my blog and then we went on holiday to Thetford Forest for 4 days and only got back today. It was really fun although I ended up with a lot of mosquito bites, the worst being one on my jawline that is swollen! But apart from that it was brilliant. So to get you up to date, the last training session I did was last Thursday and I think I did well actually and I tried to focus on my frontcrawl and got advice from my coach on how my arm position should be in and out of the water and we did some drills. I think that my frontcrawl has really been improving over the last few months and hopefully I will get some good times at the Club Champs. Well I am now off to bed so bye for now!

Getting back into the swing of things.

Hello! I am just back from another training session, which I really enjoyed, I wasn't doing that well for most of it but the last set we did was 8x100m IM's and I came from the back to the front and I felt really good and it was a good session overall. My coach Pete asked me at the end why it had taken the whole session for me to push myself to the front and I had been thinking the same thing. The answer is, I don't really know but I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again.  Also, in September, the new groups start and I think we will really push each other as we are all similar speeds and are all trying to get County times. Each of us is strong at different strokes and different drills so we should help each other improve all the time. I've really enjoyed getting back into the swimming and I can't wait for the new season to start again. The competition calendar is already filling up and I have something on most weekends up to Christmas, what with the netball and having a QPR season ticket! I also went to Luton yesterday to run in a 800m race for the athletics club. It was really hot but I really enjoyed it and came 5th out of 9 so I did ok, especially as I have been on holiday for 3 weeks and haven't done any endurance training for a while. I got a pb as well so that's always good and I have something to aim for next time. I'm actually looking forward to the cross-country season because I love running outside when it's freezing cold and I love jumping over ditches and running through fields in the mud. Yes, I may well be a bit mad. Well it's bed time for me. Ttfn.

Back home!

Hello I am back from a long relaxing holiday in Cornwall. It was very fun and we had a lot of beach days. I have been watching the Olympics and was a bit disappointed that we didn't get many medals in the swimming but it has really inspired me and I can't wait until I get back into swimming. It also inspired me to start running more than I am and I actually fancy having ago at triathlon as I am getting a bike for my birthday and cycling would help my swimming. I will soon be finding out whether I have made the Essex satellite netball academy which I am a little nervous about. So I am just about to go and have a picnic and enjoy the good weather so bye for now!
