A Thousand Lengths Blog

I have decided to do a challenge to get my butt off the sofa. I need to lose weight and get fitter.

I like swimming, probably more than most other sports, so having done Breast Cancer Swimathons before, decided to do something a little more challenging.

Over the next 3 months I will be swimming 1, 356 lengths of my local pool. That equates to 28 miles, which is half the distance of the Irish sea as being swum in relay by Richard Branson, Ronan Keating and Jason Bradbury on Sept 1st 2011.

My aim is to complete my challenge on that day, but do have until the end of September if necessary.

I have also decided to motivate myself by writing a blog. There is a link to THE SWIM and also a link to MY SWIM PAGE and another to the blog A THOUSAND LENGTHS

Please post comments and help me through the good and bad days. I'm hoping that I stay well and can do a few sessions each week to do this at a steady pace.

and of course you can join in and swim yourself (or just donate) if you wish.
