I NEED to begin training! Even if I don't actually sign up for a race, regular movement has such a powerful impact on my stress threshold.
This evening I went to the gym. I did a spin class. It was incredibly apparent how out of shape I am. Crazy how quickly a person can loose their fitness level. I have swam a few times over the past two months. Each time I climbed in the pool I expected to sink to the bottom. Thankfully that did not happen. =) I was still able to complete a very slow 1500 yard work out. At least I can still get by.
I love swimming. When I die, there had better be some really great lakes in heaven! he he he Although I suppose in heaven there wouldn't be the need to seek out that special serenity I seem to find during a long swim.
