This past week was a little rough for me. Lot of stress and to top it off – I missed my swim at lunch time on Friday. So, after work, I headed to the pool to get my laps in. I got changed, went out to the pool deck, and was immediately told that the pool was closed for a swim meet. I was told I could use the rec center – but that’s not correct, the pool there is closed too.
So, I went back to the locker room, got changed, and left – thinking that some signs might have been appropriate. I was still fuming when I got home and things didn’t get any better. I decided that I needed to take myself for a walk and cool down.
Literally.
Arby’s sounded good for dinner, so I bundled up and checked a map. 3.8 miles one way. 26 degrees outside. 1 hour 18 minutes walking time one way. Bring it.
I had some socks issues – the right kept sliding down and my Achilles tendon rubbed a bit, but I toughed it out and made the trek. It was dark and cold, but I did feel better to have gotten out there and cleared my head a bit. I had my dinner at Arby’s, then headed home.
I was tired last evening and I slept pretty well – no after effects other than being a little sore this morning.
I think I prefer swimming, but exercise is exercise.
