I'm a swimmer!
If you read my post "Talk yourself into a better triathlon performance", then you know that I've been working in the vocabulary I use to describe myself and others. The Power of the Positive!
I shared that one way I always describe myself is by saying that I am a poor swimmer. Today I've become a swimmer for the year 2007! This fits well with the power statement I've been repeating, "I am a strong swimmer".
Why am I a swimmer today? Because I just passed the total number of hours that I swam in the entire 2006 calendar year! In 2006, I swam a total of 30:53 hours.... a really low amount. Especially when you consider the majorit of that swimming was done in November and December. As of today, for 2007, I have swum 31:24 hours.
Look, I know it still needs to increase, but for today.... I am a swimmer! Check out my training log...... here.

Gary,
very cool on the positive talk. It really fits what I have been doing with my "Success Journal" which I started after reading Eric Harr's book, Ride Fast.
It's helped a ton so far, although I have only been doing it for a week now :)
Oh, and I tagged ya, so go check out my blog for the deets! :)
