Today is thankful for taking the leap and
getting back into the pool...it only took a little over a year after
being in the pool daily (when training for my triathlon) to get back in...and although it took a bit, I
was able to get back in the groove and swim like I never got out.
Although it hasn't been all smooth sailing:
The first day after swimming 21 lengths of the pool, I got out only to realize that my swimsuit was completely see through. So I threw it away.
The next day I swam, I was in a different suit, but this one criss crosses the fabric in the front and some how I kept having slippage. So I had to keep stopping and adjusting the straps, so no one was getting a sneak peak.
And today I set a goal to get 10 backstroke laps (meaning down and back) (also meaning I did this lap after swimming 2 crawl stroke laps,) and I did it!!! Which in the long run means, I swam 60 lengths of the pool (in 40min., thank you very much) I also found myself today for real thinking I was swimming up hill, not just up stream, but for real up a hill!!!! Still waiting to figure out how many miles it was that I swam....
-just an fyi the swimming took place after I did weights for my legs. tonight my but muscles and feet are killing me.-
