Right, I've caught up now!
Re swimming, was it on here someone talked about how good it is for pain? Something about cold water and symmetrical movements resetting the nervous system. So impressed was I that when the world gets slightly less weird (tier 4 here, too), I'm going to consider going outdoor swimming. In the meantime, I'm going to research where I can go.
As for swimming the wrong speed for the lane, @SingToTheSky, you set the speed! Don't feel self conscious, everyone else is either worrying about themselves, you worry about yourself too!
I'm impressed at you all fitting things around children. When I had little ones at home I pretty much gave up, unless there was a 'slot' in the schedule that worked. There was a year I went to the gym three times a week because it was near school and I could drop and gym in one go.
I've been pottering along- generally hitting my 2500, and usually 3000. My mother both helped and hindered- she got me out everyday, as she can't stand to stay in, but she also stressed me out every day!
And for those of you worrying about husbands and their activity levels- don't. You can't. You can only give them space and opportunity and then leave them to it. I was amazed how much mental energy I spent thinking about how DH was, what he needed, whether he was ok etc. When I stopped thinking about him and prioritised myself we were both happier!
