"Just Keep Swimming. . ."

Yay for new beginnings. . .for me this is a new beginning AGAIN.

I went swimming last night. Not aquacide, just swimming. I am sore today and ache, but I am doing it. I only went for about 20 minutes, but that is a start right? My goal is to be able to swim for that full 20 minutes and then kick it up to 30. When I first got in the pool I was too gung-ho and started out too fast. I must remember to pace myself. I discovered that when I did pace myself and breathed on every 4th stroke I got further and felt like I was working less. Nice feeling. I read an article about how to swim easier and work less. I practiced not making "noise" this helped me even out my stroke. I am going to miss out on my laps tonight, but I plan to go tomorrow. I'll have to find something to do on Fridays though, as there is not an open pool time that is convenient to me. . .sad.

Good job! Yay for the water! I don't know what I am going to do for the next little while. I just found out... *SIGH*... I have a tumor in my foot. Hurts to walk. Swimming hurts. And honestly, now I am not ALLOWED to swim for a week or more and I am beyond bummed. So I am jealous... AND proud... of you.
