I learned how to swim laps (aka be a mermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️) in 2015 when I was sidelined with a major injury. Swimming quickly became my go-to method of cross training and I still swim laps a few times a week even when I’m healthy. I’m starting a fresh #MermaidMonday highlights reel for 2020, so here’s some of my mermaiding moments from the last couple of years.
To hear more about how I fell in love with swimming as a runner and how I use it as part of my training both when injured and healthy, check out a few articles I wrote on my website about the topic (including some beginner swim workouts!). This is the story of a #runnerturnedmermaid!
