Finally . . .

Started swimming again last week.  I'd done a few 20 minute swims here and there over our cold, dark winter and skipped the State meet even, no motivation for swimming.  But then, our local Y added a new class with a coach on the deck writing a workout and people to swim with doing the same workout and I could see the light!  See, I can push myself to some cool limits in the pool when I've payed for a class and people are nipping at my heels keeping my speed up.  But oh, to depend on my own self-motivation any more, WOW, incredibly unreliable! (-:

The Y workouts aren't nearly as long as what I'm used to with Masters, and not nearly as intense...but that's pretty perfect for not having swam that way since the Fall.  Plus, this is perfect to get somewhat back in shape for ONE MONTH from now when I'll be swimming outside again at 5:45a.m.!!!

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!

I sat at a ballgame tonight, huddled in my winter coat, bemoaning my decision to pack away my hats and gloves.  It was freezing with a biting wind.  ONE MONTH???? That's insane!

The pool at the Y is 82 degrees...

Hmmmm......
