Splish Splash

I was pleasantly surprised with my swim tonight. It wasn't a planned out practice but how do you plan out a practice when you have not swam in over 7 years?

Unfortunately I lost count very early in the swim. I have to give an educated guess that it was around 1000 yards, maybe even 1500. Nothing near what used to be swam in a typical day but it felt great. Mom and I did take some chatting breaks which also made it much more fun. In all we swam for an hour (chatting included). We even took a few dives off of the diving boards.

I would normally consider this a reward for the workout well done. Mom was a little afraid of the boards and did not actually dive (which was not a requirement) on her first try. I'll give her credit she gave a good dive the 2nd go.

Another note worthy event of the day was the long ride to Rochester. We got in around 11 and got to see Mr Dylan right away. What a treat.

In case you didn't know how big of a softie I am I caved to a dog. I was saying Hi to Lexie when she looked like she needed to go out. I took her out thinking it would be a brief break for her but when she got outside she just looked at me then the gate leading to the outside world. She knows I normally take her on long walks or sometimes runs. Today it was raining (lightly) and it had been taken out of the plans as swimming was on the table for exorcise for the day. The way she looked at the gate wondering why in the world i was being so lazy when all she wanted was to walk with me.

It worked I ran a quick 2 miles (does that even count in Angela's world as a run?) and took a HOT shower.

It was a great day.
