I hit the pool today at lunch time – first time I’ve been back in a while. In fact, I stopped going when my former room-mate got sick. Too much going on and too tired to put forth the effort to get in there and get in my laps.
I only did 20 laps today, but I felt pretty good and even threw in a butterfly lap – not my strongest, but it still counts.
It was weird… I was almost dreading it, but once I got into in the laps went by pretty quickly. I may not be Namor, but I gave it a good showing. And still looked reasonable in my speedos if I do say so myself.
So, back to the rule: “If the pool is open and I’m at work – Monday, Wednesday, and Friday – I’ll swim”
I started up a new google doc for the occasion and dutifully recorded my laps. I don’t really have a goal per say, but I want to get back to doing at least a mile and maybe more if I swim after work or on the weekend.
And the best part? I didn’t drown. Not even once. 🙂
