Swimming is excellent cross training. My hips have been really tight this week, and getting in the pool felt so good to loosen everything up. 
The last time I swam laps was almost a year ago to the day! Today, I swam about 60 laps. I guess 64 is a mile, so it was pretty close! I felt like Jello at the end. It was a great workout.

Wanna know who won the Kraft Philadelphia Cooking Crème Contest?
Only eight entries? You can’t win if you don’t play!
Maybe I should have told you that I’m also throwing in a Trader Joe’s treat.

wow as I was rereading this post…my computer is crazy sometimes…the curser jumps around on this laptop…what the heck!…you get the drift
iI agree…if y are swimming that far a good headphone set would be cool…a future investment for sure…i have been buying a few aquatic things this year and it makes for a good variety of things to do…that pool looks sooo inviting…i would love to get out there and hit the waves!…i am indoors all yr long…sounds like a great swim for you…keep it up and if you need a variation of things to do let me know…very proud of you!
I love swimming!
Nice job on your swim!
I use to love swimming, but I hate getting in the water when its (Cali) cold out and the way that the chlorine makes your skin and hair so dry. Such a great workout though. I think if I had those headphones that allow you to listen to music while swimming that I would do it more often.
