The whole open water ocean swimming thing was terrifying. |
I just keep talking myself out of it. Somehow it seemed too daunting to get myself to the Y with all my swim stuff and get in the pool. I always had an excuse. I didn't have time. I had a cold. My arms were tired from lifting. They were all bull.
This morning I finally did it. I got in the pool and swam almost a mile. And you know what?? I ENJOYED IT. I felt light and effortless and nothing hurt, very unlike my running lately. I felt like I could feel everything in my body releasing. The time flew by.
This is not the pool I swam in. I wish. This is a much nicer pool. |
Is there something that you have trouble making yourself do?
Aww, so happy you got out there! I am this way (psyching myself out) about seeing certain people. Isn't that terrible? Sigh.
