#teamspeedo

The good: Made it back to the pool after almost 3 years of not #swimming due to C19 shutdowns and #shoulder issues complete w/ 2 cortisone shots last year. Only 500m today but it’s double what I thought I could do when I got in the water today. I definitely need a bigger @speedousa backpack and some new goggles. I also had to throw away a bunch of my old swim caps (both Speedo & TYR) because they were old and ripping. Swimsuit felt tight when I put it on but felt normal in the water. #TeamSpeedo

The bad: freestyle and backstroke are out. I was always best at #breaststroke even at the height of all my #swim lessons and practices but the up and over motion pulls too much. I had a bad backstroke start attempt off the blocks and lost my goggles for a few minutes. I eventually dove down and saw them - used my foot to retrieve them.

The ugly: hip hurts like a mofo. Bursitis is getting worse since I curl more now. Will need to tell my MSK specialist next week during my appt. What’s worse, I fell down the walkway and rolled my ankle. Icing my ankle in bed now while watching the GSOC QF since I have Saturday night league in a few hours.

Nothing feels as good and as bad at the same time as swimming. I’m gonna be hella sore tomorrow #saturday #weekend

I requested PTO for tomorrow to have an extended long weekend over the holiday because I have some serious spring cleaning to catch up on but what I really want to do is go #swim Unfortunately my local pool is closed until next year for renovations and it’s questionable whether or not my shoulders and right hip can handle #swimming after how sore I still am from the Intermediate Tuesday hip hop dance class.

Stoked to share that I just received my @speedousa Limited Edition Signature #Goggles I got both the @ryan_f_murphy & the @kathleenbaker2 #pink Speed Socket 2.0 Mirrored Goggles. I wish I could’ve gotten all 4 but I had to control myself. I at least had to be all #GOBEARS about it. Plus the Dressel goggles sold out in minutes so it wasn’t available by the time I Iogged on to Speedo’s website. I of course had to get another #Vanquisher because I actually need new goggles and we all know the signature goggles are gonna be tucked away as collector items, never to be used. This is my 3rd Vanquisher & I’m excited to use them!

As a fangirl, my sense of brand loyalty is quite strong so of course I’m repping #TeamSpeedo I hope I find another pool to swim at this summer I miss it and thoroughly loved being able to swim the last time LPP was open earlier this month. #thursday #lategram #swimfan #RyanMurphy #KathleenBaker #backstroke #olympian #athlete
