My Challenge is to Swim 2 kilometres EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

I hate swimming and being in cold water!! I didn't even have a pair of goggles before setting this challenge and I've never swum 2km before. But keen to hop outside my comfort zone and just keep swimming when it gets hard :) 

My Updates

Day 6

Friday 25th Oct
Today I did a total of 2.65km. Ocean pool was so much harder with the waves and icy water, they don’t call it icebergs for nothing !!!!

Day 5

Thursday 24th Oct
Halfway thereeee! Did an extra 500m today. Sung so many black eyed peas songs in my head to pass the time because I know just about every word to every song. Also im sure nobody is reading my updates but I’ve realised I love blogging into the abyss

Day 4

Wednesday 23rd Oct
Slower and more tired today, but added an extra 100m :) it’s my birthday and I would never ever choose to do exercise on my birthday but it wasn’t that bad!! Maybe I am a sporty girl after all?

Day 3

Tuesday 22nd Oct
2.2km today yay! finding the boredom of swimming more uncomfortable than the physical challenge. Not exercising with any music or having any variation. But to pass the time I sung some songs in my head incl. Hey Mama - Black eyed peas and Scar - Missy Higgins. My afternoon treat at the pool was a cornetto

Day 2

Monday 21st Oct
Little bit faster today but the pool was split in half this time so I had to do 80 laps of 25m. I haven’t mastered the flip turn thing but maybe an activity for day 3!! I wanted to do an extra 100m and see what I can get to by day 10. Also I got a killer python from the canteen after which was so nostalgic but they’re smaller than I remember

Day 1

Sunday 20th Oct
i’m so slow but got it done yay!
