Swim, Rebecca, Swim....

Last night I was able to leave the boys at home with a babysitter and hit the pool with the Talbot County Manta Ray masters swim team. I've been toying with the idea of joining it since moving here but never seemed to get around to it. I spoke to the team captain earlier this week and decided I'd give it a go.

Our coach is a nice fellow named Glenn whose been swimming (very successfully) for years. We did stroke drills, which were great, and some streamline work. All fun! It was a good workout for my heart and didn't stain my shoulders too much.

I will be trying to fit the swimming in twice a week, which will be hard until the end of soccer season for the boys (three more weeks).

Regardless, I think it will be a great cross-training method for the marathon and look forward to the strength training it should offer.
