Feeling great about my week of training.
I finished out my week at 64,000 pool yards. I had hoped to go a full ten days but on day 4 I came down with a weird cough. It wasn’t a regular cough like being congested, it was a wheezing cough. I had never experienced this before so I did a little research and this is what I found out.
Are Indoor Pools Bad for Your Lungs?
After being out of the pool for two days my cough is completely gone. I think I will rest and recover so that I will be ready for my Golden Gate Bridge to San Mateo Bridge (23 mile) swim this Saturday. I am really excited and looking forward to being in the bay again.
Next Summer I will be swimming from the Farallon Islands to Aquatic Park in San Francisco, a distance of 30+ miles. A feat that has never been accomplished by a female and "I am just the girl for the job"
Dream it! Swim it!


Good luck Karen
brilliant training so far I am in awe
Keep us informed please

so i am thinking if the chlorine and chemicals get on your skin, the same must happen to your lungs. still, what you are doing is phenomenal. maybe in another month you will be in the lake. if it stops snowing!
train on, miss farallon!
