How do you eat an elephant?

....in bite sized pieces!  So how do you swim more than double what you thought was impossible 12 months ago?  Apply the same method.  Today my swim was 2 x 300m to warm up, 6 x 50m working on the efficiency of the stroke (try not to look like someone drowning!), 2 x 800m timed which will give my coach a measure of my progress and 6 x 50m warm down.  It seems like a lot but once you get started you get into a rhythm which is so important. 
Back for my 2nd breakfast of the day, my 1st was porridge at 6am, of bacon, eggs, toast and chocolate fingers - that will replace a few calories!  Motivation is high after a session like that knowing I am one step closer to my goal and that I continue to receive support for Maggie's from family, friends colleagues, clients and even strangers - thank you, you know who you are.
