First Swim of 2008

I finally did it. Got back in the pool and did some laps today. I'm not sure what the distance was but I was in the water for about 20 minutes. That's all I had in me, not too tired, just right. I took my time, back and forth, back and forth. It felt good. The water was nice and warm even if the wind was blowing outside. Yes, this is an outdoor pool. Yes, I'm so glad I live in California.

I'd forgotten how calming it is to swim. Time to focus on my breathing, on the stroke, on the kick. Time to feel the water flowing around.

Time to start training for another triathlon? I don't know. But it sure is nice to be swimming again.
