Learning to Swim-Day 18

Well though this morning was a bit rainy, it did clear up with plenty of sunshine before I left for the gym to go for a swim. At least it was mild in the 40s. And when I got to the pool to meet Paige, she wasn't there. Though I was five minutes early, I figured she must've been running late from her job subbing at the schools. Something must've come up. Since I didn't cancel and she didn't text me ahead of time, I took the chance to practice for my own for that half-hour and flew solo. (When I came home just now, Paige texted me at 4:11 PM to say she couldn't make it. I was at the pool waiting for her at that time.) So on my own, I've warmed up with one lap of the breast stroke and one lap of the freestyle. Then I did four timed laps of the backstroke and cooled down with one elementary backstroke. Then I called it a day since my time was about up. As for Friday night yoga, the weather is good and it's on for tomorrow night. I did text Amanda yesterday and heard back from her. She might not make up, due to being busy at work. But she did promise to text me, if she's going to either the Wednesday and/or Friday yoga classes. I hope to see her with in the five weeks before my gym membership expires. I would decide about am month from here. Next week's weather looks good for Pilates and both yoga classes. It all depends on the morning's weather for water aerobics. And I would let you know on Monday. By the way, I did get an Upwork assignment during this past weekend to read a YA fantasy from my client. So far, it's pretty fair and would get a 3, due to some punctuation errors and lack of emotional depth. I would turn it in time tomorrow afternoon.

I agree. Better late than never. Yeah I did. I had the leisure lap to myself and went at my own pace.

@Courtlynn Yep. And since the weather is warmer for the mornings next week, I can squeeze in a five-minute practice lap if the lanes aren't taken.

Thanks Nerdieeds. Yeah I started last fall with one instructor before she changed jobs. Now I've had a new instructor for a month now.

@jobelbojel She's great! I knew her before, when she subbed for my water aerobics instructor on Fridays mostly. She really works my butt off.

Yeah I did, even without Paige. I took the advantage of that opportunity. It would sure make up for lost time and practice laps this winter.
