It's Friday, so that means that it is swimming day today. I don't know what it is about the feeling of the cool water engulfing me that completely takes me back to my childhood. It reminds me how I used to live in the water as a little girl down in Dallas. My best friend (and next door neighbor) had a pool in her backyard and we used to swim all summer long. Aaaaahhh the good old days. Come to think of it, I probably should have tried to train for a 10K race when I was 8. I am sure it would have been easier then than it is for me now!
And so here I am, back in the present day and really glad that I chose to do swimming on Fridays. I called up one of my good friends to go with me (and she used to be a competitive swimmer) and we went together to the pool. It was great to have someone there to push me (not literally) forward and to motivate me to try harder. I really think that I am going to enjoy my Friday swims and I hope that it will help with my running endurance.
This whole training thing may not be half bad!

I looove swimming. I used to swim in university. It's nice because you don't get all sweaty! (Well, you do but it just washes off in the water!) Where are you swimming? Is it chlorine or salt water?
ReplyDeleteLahni, its at Shouldice Pool in Bowness! Perfect because it's salt water and apparently no one goes on a Friday afternoon!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! There really is just nothing like being in water - I 100% agree.
