Personal Record

I've been hitting the gym at the Duluth Clinic Fitness and Therapy Center for about a year now and have been pretty satisfied with my progress for the most part. I've started getting a bit less satisfied since getting my cholesterol checked and finding it just over the line into the "bordeline high" category. However, my body composition numbers have shown some improvement, albeit, small. So I've switched from using the recumbent bike as my main cardio machine to varying the routine a bit to include an elliptical machine and swimming. Today I challenged myself in the pool and swam for a mile. That's 32 laps or 64 lengths of the pool. That is a big number for me. A little over a year ago when I first committed to getting into shape I went up to the pool at UMD and could barely complete 4 or 6 lengths. It was pretty frustrating. But today I swam a mile. I'm happy with that.
