Toughen Up Cupcake!

So I was going to post about the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad 24 Hours but I decided that could wait for one more day because I have not done a Cupcake post in while and I did a Cupcake thing today!!!!!!

The original Cupcake post and explanation is

HERE :)

I have been in a Master Swim class two days a week and today our coach said that after our warm up we were going to do a 1500 time trial. (Down and back is a 50 in our pool) We were told that we could do it however we wanted, swim 500 rest, swim 500 - whatever but we were going to be timed. I decided that my goal was to start and not stop. I have been working on improving my flip turns so I thought this would be the perfect chance to start and not stop.

I started swimming....

then I swam some more...........

then I swam some more

Pretty soon I was singing to myself

justkeepswimmingjustkeepswimmingjustkeepswimmingjustkeepswimming

at about 800 I started with the mental games -

I cannot believe that I am only halfway through

my head is starting to hurt

maybe if I just stopped for a second to take a break

WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER TO BRING MY OWN GATORADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stuff like that

But you know what - I just kept swimming. If it hurt - I kept swimming. When I felt tired - I kept swimming.

I told myself that I could keep swimming and you know what

I could!

This is me - after my workout, red in the face, running late so no makeup, but I had to take a picture of myself to remember

If I remind myself that I can

I CAN!

Texas Weather,

What the heck? I took this great picture yesterday and was all set to tell you, or email you, or really now that I think about it possibly I spend too much time talking to the weather.....

but anyway

I was all set to say how GREAT it is to have the backdoor open and the children OUTSIDE.

They are inside today - thanks.

Holly

I will send my bloggy friends to click on links to dining rooms, bar stools, cookware, and mailboxes all day long! I cannot wait to write my review (and will soon - well just as soon as I actually get a chance to sit down and drink something out of one of them which will SURELY happen this weekend:)

Much Bloggy Love,

Holly
