Fish in Water

I finally got back in the pool this morning. Woo-hoo! I had forgotten how much I love swimming. It took a little while for my legs to get with the program, though. I love how my body just glides through the water and the fluidity with which all my typically uncoordinated appendages seem to work. I'm hoping this will also help alleviate my nagging back/hip problem. (I swear, nothing makes you feel old like complaining about a hip problem.) I did about 2,200 meters, give or take 100 since I always seem to lose count along the way. The last 100 meters of my endurance swim workout called for a moderate pace. I decided to throw caution to the wind (I know, I'm such a rebel) and test my 100 meter time. I was off my record time by about 10 sec. but was still close to my average. Plus, this was after about 2,000 meters so I think that was pretty darn good.

Like Dory in Finding Nemo says, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming….."
