It’s bragging time! 
Thanks to the lovely Hollie, of course, who I will be seeing in a few short weeks. Heck yes!
Here we go!
A physical brag: I am the fastest girl at swim practice. 
If you read my daily mile post yesterday, you might have noticed that I kind of complained about being the fastest girl at practice. Why? Because when we do sets where he puts us in lanes by speed, I get paired up in a heat with all of the fast guys and they swim super fast and make me get last haha. Also, because I am the only girl in my normal lane, I get eaten alive by their currents sometimes. But still, I have been swimming in the fast lane, making the times, and getting good workouts! Heck yes for having the background of being a collegiate athlete! Makes me feel special!
I threw this picture in here because it’s brag-worthy. I medaled in my first triathlon! And I just yesterday became a member of USA Triathlon…I think next year will be a big year for me…more on that later
A mental brag: Because I am super smart and good at what I am going to school for, I am presenting at the PA Council for Exceptional Children conference tomorrow! Ok, that was really braggy. But seriously, I get the opportunity to present a project that I did with my friend, Lisa, to educators and other members of the special education field. Talk about a resume booster! Our presentation is titled “Teaching Independent Living Skills to Students with Disabilities using Video Modeling” or something like that. Here’s a still shot from our video we made….hahahaha
Yep, one of our skills is lunch packing.
Regular old brag: If and when I get through this stressful week, I will get to spend time with many of my favorite people over the weekend. I am bragging because I get to spend the weekend with my boyfriend, and Saturday with my parents and my second family. For a girl who barely gets to spend time with loved ones, I feel as though this is something for me to brag about. I won’t get to see my sister, best friend or this guy, though:
At least I’ll be living with him again soon enough!
Your turn: Tell me one thing you’re proud of!
Life After Swimming 
Awesome job (on everything)! I’m proud that I’m keeping a positive attitude even though I’m super stressed!
Morning Nikki! You have some great things to be proud of! After a stressful week, it’s always great to be able to unwind on the weekend. I plan on doing the exact same thing.
Rock star on the swimming thing chica! Up against the fella’s! 🙂
Have a great day!
You should be so proud of yourself for your awesome improvements in swimming! I don’t know how you do it – I get SO out of breath!!
It doesn’t surprise me that you are the fastest swimmer. Speedy little lady! I would die- you would lap me multiple times. Actually my 1 lap would probably be 2 for you!
It’s awesome that you can get back in the pool and still beat everyone! I swam for the first 2 years of college and recently decided to switch to xc and I hope that someday I’ll be able to hop back into the pool and rekindle that love I once had for the sport, without dying after a 50. I used to be the fastest on my team too and swimming with the boys definitely made me stronger, if not faster!
Super brag plus normal brag. I dig it. I’m glad you are fastest swimmer and I’m super happy for you. Work it girl. I’m going to go check out dailymile now.
I am ready for your weekend to come too, sounds like you have some great stuff planned.
I would always swim with the guys during swim practice, too. I was the fastest girl on my YMCA and high school swim team so I would always workout with the guys. I wasn’t last though, since the guys kind of half a**ed it during practice, which made me angry!
We have a photo of one of our cats that looks similar to the one of yours, so cute!
That is awesome about you being the fastest girl! Way too kick butt! 🙂
Atta girl! Way to be the fastest girl! That is definitely something to brag about! 🙂
Girl, you deserve to brag. Seriously, fastest girl? Pshh i’d be bragging all over the social media if I wore you 🙂
I’m so excited that soon you’ll be spending time with all your loved ones. xo
Woohoo, I’d definitely be excited over being the fastest girl at swim practice. That’s brag worthy!
