Re: July goals

Svim at least 500m without stopping? Should be easy enough unless you go crazy tempo?

You may have to stop smoking pot totally in order to get a decent job, because of the drug testing.

Have you tried it?

I'm not a good swimmer, so it may be just me. Or you could also be right that I'm going too fast.

nah, im german. its no that nitty over here.
i know two cops who smoke weed, did smoke together with one of them.
but im off for 4 days now already and my 2 best friends stopped smoking pot quite some time ago.

my goals are very modest, already made the frontsquats part and am pretty sure to stay alive a few more days despite not getting high.

maybe you should make this one a little more achievable, like not blunder a rook, or manage to hold for a draw as white :P

Im way overweight and have no problem with swimming 1000 meters in one go. But my pace is very slow because I have to move alot of body through the water. But Ive always been a pretty good swimmer.

You are correct Bjornar! After tweaking on my form, and slowing down a bit, I can now easily go over 1000 meters continuous. Thanks for the advice.

Re: July goals

1650 and you stopped because of cramps maybe? I used to do 1500 in 3x 500 brackets but could also do 1000 in one go quite easily if only doing breaststroke but I got cramps in my feet usually if I went towards 1500 without a break. But Im 140 kilos

No actually I ran out of time The pool I was at was about to close so I had to get out. I was going pretty slow, so I bet I could have gone a bit further.
