Justifiably Proud

I am rather proud of myself today, and I feel I have an excellent reason for my little bout of pride.
For the first time in my life, I swam an entire 3/4 of a mile, and I did it in about 45 minutes without stopping, save to move the counter on my lap counter. That works out to a fairly speedy 1.6 minutes per lap--not too shabby eh? I followed that up with two laps of kickboard to balance out the upper and lower body effort. Now my arms feel leaden, but they are entitled to--it was quite a workout. The only down side is now I'm tuckered out and I still have to get the car cleaned out and packed for the morning.
