Well I think I have broken the wall. I am not near as tired at night ( OMG the first two weeks were brutal, I was in bed by 8-8:30) and getting up is easier at 4:45 am. The swimming was really hard in the beginning. It is still hard but I can work through it much easier. I am improving. I am much stronger than I was and faster. I was even asked today if I had lost weight :applaud:. I dont think so but I have lost inches in my back. I understand the swimming lingo. At first I was a little out of it. I have all my swim equipment and love using it. I think they say it takes 28 days to break a habit. Well I am over that now and I think I am in a routine, swimming has just become something I have to and need to do 4 times a week. The fact that I enjoy it is wonderful and I must admit a little surprising. I used to get bored when I swam as a youngster. I guess the older mind likes it better than my young one did. I am lucky to have a good coach and fun people to swim with. No one makes you feel like you are not doing incredible. It is all wonderful I do hate the drive to work now but I guess it is a small price to pay for my physical and mental health. Thanks everyone here for your words of wisdom , help, expertise and humour Cheers Katie

    Congrats Katie. It is a great feeling. And as just said, you will need something to draw from. I have been getting up at 4:45 for almost 3 yrs and there are many days that I don't want to go. Today was one of them. I will go swim tonight and all will be right with the world, but I just feel better to get up and get in the water. Just keep pushing and you will achieve all your goals. Before you know it you will have to make new ones.
