Monday Morning Day 1 of Challenge

Greetings and Salutations
     Well here is the skinny: Up at 0504 (hit the snooze once but I got up before it went off). Tip of the day: When in doubt reset programmable timers. So far my timer I have connected to my fan to make the room less cozy when it is time to wake up works now that I cleared the history and started over. Sweet! I was in the water and swimming by 0610 and swam for a full 30 minutes. My nose clip worked perfect. The chlorine was really giving me headaches and hurting my nasal passages (my allergies keeps my nose/sinuses inflamed) Swim cap worked good too. Hair wasn't totally soaked and best of all not in my way. Overall I felt really great in the water. Breaks were few and minimal. I'm sticking mostly with breast stroke as freestyle is a bit much for me but I did do it 3 laps one at a time. I'll get there.
     Then I changed clothes and played tennis for 45 minutes. I lost 6 balls over the wall and was supposed to have access to a gate that opened onto the field. Not so much this time. I hate I lost that many balls. I will have to go back to other court so when I pitch one over the fence I can easily retrieve it! I have to admit that I am wiped out from swimming and that it took way more out of me then I thought it would. I gave it my all on the court but I could tell there wasn't as much as there usually is to give. I'm gonna highly consider more time in the pool first before I layer tennis behind it. I mean after all,  today was 3rd time in a pool in years and 3rd time ever to swim for exercise not recreation. Its gonna take this chick a second to get her body caught up with her mind!
     I slept 7 hours and need to get to bed now! Tomorrow's agenda is yoga (at home) and biking. Good night!

Tootles :)
