June 11: Approaching the Limits....Again


Today I did power hour hot yoga, which was fun and it GAVE me energy.  So, still in my sweaty mess mode, I went to the gym and swam 42 laps again.  I swam quicker this time, even though my arms felt more tired.  I think I’m finally starting to figure out this swimming thing, which is really embarrassing to say after all these years.  But the “crawl” is basically named that because one does indeed “crawl” down the lane.  I never really felt that before, but I did today.  I tried to remember all the stroke advice I’ve received from the “experts” who have done this forever and have good-naturedly shaken their heads in disbelief at how lousy my stroke is, but it’s so much HARDER when you have to do the proper stroke! I watched other swimmers at the gym and they were SO doing it wrong and they could go forever.  That’s my idea of swimming!

After swimming I sat in the sauna with argon oil all over my hair.  This swimming stuff is tough on skin, hair, etc.  My hair color is gonna be neon blonde/white soon.  My head is like a beacon in the dark.
