I have completed another mile tonight which makes me feel a lot better as I only did 36 lengths on Saturday morning! The pool was very busy and I got quite frustrated with having to stop behind people!! Was much better tonight though as the pool was very quiet... I love swimming when the pool isn\'t busy! I was, again, the last person out of the pool... Then came hope and ate two chocolate bars..... Oops lol :-)

Bloody hell... Was attempting to get to the 50% mark tonight so thought that I\\\'d really push myself to do 100 lengths... It only took me to 49%!!!!! Arrgghh!!! Still it was fun as three of my little brothers came with me and Helen, it reminded me of when I used to take them when they were little!! And watching our Ben swim was hilarious...sorry Ben! :-) xxx

Gosh, that was quite a difficult mile. However it\'s not bad to say that I have two infections ( one on my chest) and a dodgy knee!! So that\'s me happy :-) x

Feeling like a massive snot ball but my dedication to my challenge continues!! I was up late yesterday so went swimming today instead. I only did 40 lengths.... The pool was quite busy and I was getting frustrated children dodging! Still it takes me to having completed a third of the way :-). Back to it tomorrow!!! Wish me love xxx

Arghhh just realised that I have not logged my lengths from sat 22nd!! It was only 40 as I had Helen\'s hair to do before she went to a wedding... But every little but helps!!!

Gosh, another mile completed after Zumba on Monday! I actually didn\'t feel very well beforehand but think that Zumba cured me lol!!! I only managed 40 lengths tonight though as my annoying little brother needed my taxi services as he was stuck in Leeds city centre, I whizzed (or wheezed, depends on how you view it lol) my 40 off and then rushed from normington to Leeds to be the hero ( if knackered and old) big sister!!! Hopefully, I will be completing more lengths on Saturday morning... It\'s a good way to set you up for the day... Will probably nap in the afternoon though lol!!!! I\'ll keep you all posted!! A big thanks to whoever has donated on my just giving page :-) xxx

So another 50 lengths completed yesterday! I was going to attempt 28 lengths today but as I was partying at Donna\'s 30th last night, I decided to give my poor body a rest! Actually my body feels fine...it\'s my feet that hurt!! Still a night of dancing in daft shoes does do that!! Anyway, my lovely friend Helen offered to feed my family and I Sunday lunch so will commence with the splashing....oops swimming tomorrow!! Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx

So, another 50 lengths done... Wanted to do the extra 14 to make it to another mile but unfortunately our usual pool close to the public early on a Thursday! This meant that Helen (my best friend who is supporting me by coming swimming with me) had to travel to a different pool, hence me running out of time to complete the extra 14 :-(!!! Feel a bit disappointed but family and friends keep reminding me that I have still exceeded my target of 40 lengths a time....I suppose that they have a point! Anyway, will try again on Saturday morning.... Wish me luck lol!!

So, the first mile has been achieved!!! I feel quite proud of myself! However, I wouldn\'t be able to do it without the support of my friends and family.... Who support me in everything I do, so thanks dudes, you all know who you are!!! Love you all to bits xxx
