You Knew There’d Be Pictures

No one is sure who’s having more fun at our Saturday morning swim lessons–Samuel or me. But I’m grateful for the weekly opportunity to make some memories with this little fish. I thoroughly enjoy every second we’re together. And being in the water makes me want to start swimming again now that my schedule is slightly less unreasonable than it had been for several years. Here are some pics and vids from our first two sessions.

From Hibernating to Hyperventilating

Today in Lane 3 at the Lebanon Y…

  • My arms were like ropes of jelly.
  • My legs were like noodles of lasagna.
  • My lungs became a chlorine furnace.
  • My shoulders eventually went on strike.
  • My eyes are now bleary and itchy.
  • My head is still spinning and throbbing.

And I loved every minute of it! Yes, it’s great to be back in the pool because goals don’t accomplish themselves. As Rita Mae Brown has said, “Never hope for it more than you work for it.”

Now for some PG Tips to help me stay awake the rest of the day!

My date with Lane 3 today at the Lebanon YMCA natatorium.
