Week 1 and I'm 2.5 miles across the channel - done in two swims of 108 lengths and 50 lengths. Enjoying it so far as I now have a purpose to motivate me!! Having the weekend off then will try to do 110 lengths on Monday.

Week 5 and now half way across! 11 miles done 11 miles to go! Week 4 totally out due to throat infection but back on track now and hopeful to finish ahead of target date and maybe start swimming back too. Still enjoying it although all this chlorine is taking it's tole on my hair!!

Week 10 and finished - wohoo! 2 weeks to spare so really pleased! I will definately keep up the regular swimimg though albeit not so intensive as the last 10 weeks.

Thank you everyone for donating to such a good cause and giving me the motivation to kep going. Maybe I'll do the real channel swim one day! or maybe not ;-)
