Had a week off swimming after the Edinburgh Moonwalk last Saturday / Sunday morning. Managed the 26.2 miles in under 7 hours, so well done to Morag and me. We were pretty gubbed by the end of it and I had such bad blisters that by the time I got home I couldn't stand. It was pitiful to see me crawling about on hands on knees - but did I get any real sympathy?
Then I was off to conduct a wedding on the Isle of Rum. It was absolutely wonderful. The bride and groom (Gilly and John from Skye) were a great couple and the whole event was brilliant. Great company, fantastic live music, dancing and oh yeh ... I solemnised the marriage too !
So onto swimming .... been training in Mallaig pool again. Following a training plan I found on-line which is pretty hard work. Did 120 lengths today. Can't help myself talking to people - that is definitely something I inherited from my dear mother. Although I am glad I do, as I met one of the staff there. Lovely woman who has offered to do some coaching with me next week, so looking forward to that. It's a long time since I had any coaching, I am sure I have lots of bad habits - and most of them are not related to swimming :-)
Will keep you posted how I get on. Next swim is in the sea again, hopefully Saturday XX Anne
