@keepshowingupstephen: Day 157 of showing up for myself. I swam 1,100 yards (1.01 km), which is 44 laps, in 37:24 at Lakeshore Foundation. I ran out of time today because the pool was busy, so I didn’t get my entire workout done. And that’s okay. I got most of it in. Sometimes things don’t go according to plan. The important thing is not turning an imperfect workout into a reason to do nothing. Tomorrow is weigh-in Wednesday. We’ll see how well I’ve done. Whatever the scale says, I keep moving forward. 89 days until I walk the Rocket City Half Marathon in Huntsville, Alabama, on Sunday, December 13th. Keep showing up.

This is amazing. Coming from someone that use to swim and play provincial Water Polo in my country. Doing 1Km is grueling but rewarding work (even at the time when I was fit for it). Even if it doesnt mean much, know that some random guy from South Africa is proud of you all the way out here. Keep showing up for yourself and, i belive, the best of things will come your way.

I love it when the big fellas show up day in day out cause it shows proper commitment instead of just showing up for the camera

Keep it up, man. Here's a tip: I play water polo and find it great for losing weight—I’d recommend it to you, too. Bigger guys have a real advantage.

One day you’ll do a mile, an incredible achievement. And then you’ll never feel happy unless you swim a mile.
