Yesterday I went down to the pool over at the YMCA and had my first swim. Before that I did a quick 20 minute bike workout with the resistance set at 15 (max is 25) I really need to build my leg endurance up so I won't get blown away on the bike rides. After the bike ride I donned my new jammer length bicycling/swimming shorts and put on the goggles.

Man swimming for long periods of time isn't like it was when i was 12 and under taking lessons. Its really hard now. I wish I had stuck with swimming more. But I felt a good burn in my legs and shoulders so I guess thats a good thing. My goal was 30 minutes in the pool with doing sets of 100 meters with 30sec- 1min breaks in between. And I switched up my stroke between breast and crawl. I'm not sure if this a good training method but it felt good. I think the first week should be all about learning to breathe properly and get reacquainted in the water.

Hi All-
Literally 4 weeks I came home from a nice long run and I had a great idea in my head to build a social fitness site. I drew up the plans and started to create the database for it. Then today I turn around and signed up for Gimme20. This site was exactly what I was thinking of (damn i wish I had built it earlier).

Besides that I'm a 22 year old student at University of Rhode Island. This is my final semester and will be graduating with a degree in Communications Studies. I take 2 days of classes and spend the rest of my time at the Newport Harbor Corporation in the marketing and sponsorship sales department.
