I haven’t been swimming since last Sunday’s near death experience. Not because I was scared or burned out but just haven’t found the time. I needed to get back in the pool today.
I ran the 5 miles to Colony West this morning and found the pool packed. There were actually people waiting to get in by the time I got there at 10:30. Lap swim begins at 10:00 so I thought I would just wait a few minutes and some lanes would open up. As luck would have it I only had to wait about 10 minutes. Which was good rest for me after the run.
I surprised myself by how good I felt. It was so refreshing swimming where I was oriented and calm. The water seemed like Propel compared to Lake Decatur. I could actually see my arm. I felt so good I got in 3 x 500 yards. Farther than I have every swam.
The run home was not fun. I was exhausted and tired. But I made it anyway and have been a zombie the rest of the day. 10 miles running and 1500 yards swimming. I’ll take tomorrow off.
