Swim update Week 5: 13.5 miles complete! This is hard. I have found that doing a half mile (66 laps) rather than a full mile (132 laps) at a time works better for me. A full mile takes too much out of me. After a half mile, I sit for 10 minutes then I’m ready to go.
Someone in the pool asked: Why don’t I swim? I responded that I can’t because my legs cramp up because I have MS. I just walk with the resistance paddles.
They then asked: Do you use a wheel chair? My response was no & I’m doing this to hopefully never need a chair. The public doesn’t understand that MSers conditions vary greatly from no limitations to bedridden & we just adapt to our individual abilities.
Enjoy the day, Ray
