Back into it.

Hello well I didn't swim at all that week as I was still ill with a cold. So this week was my first week back since I was ill. I am feeling a lot better now, although still a little bunged up and my throat is a little tender. I swam yesterday morning and it went ok although it really tired me out afterwards. I didn't really enjoy the set as it had quite a lot of frontcrawl in it, but it was ok as there were not many people there and it was only me and Rebecca Moloney in the lane, so we swam side by side. I like swimming side by side but it does put a bit of pressure on me as I feel I should be keeping up with the person, not slower than them but I just tried to not think about and remember that I am doing at my pace, nobody else's. Then I swam this morning which was alright but I was very tired and Maria said that it was because I have just come back from and illness and I need to gently get back into otherwise I will tire myself out. We did some IM's which I found quite tiring, although I like IM's sometimes I find them really hard if I am not up for it, but I got on with it and apart from getting out and having to blow my nose a few times, I was fine. Then this evening I had a school girls basketball match. We were against HoneyWood school and it was my first ever proper basketball match against another school, so I was quite nervous. My best friend Carlann did it with me along with my best friend Keerthy who is in year 9 the year above us. She is really good at Basketball and encouraged us to go along, and I think I would like to join the Basketball club.
