Goal achieved

I took up swimming last fall at the YMCA. At first I could barely swim 4 lengths of the pool before my legs burned and I was coughing up water. But a co-worker told me how, when he was a kid, swam a mile in 45 mins.

So I set myself a goal to swim a mile...36 lengths of the pool...1800 yards. On Friday I achieved my goal. It took me an hour, and I had a stomach ache after for some reason, but it felt good.

Next goal. To swim a mile in 45 minutes.
