Swimming

In high school, I was a swimmer on the high school swim team. I wasn't that good, mind you, but a swimmer nonetheless. After being skeptical during the first week my freshman year (it hurt a lot), I became a believer once I could move pain-free again. Swimming might be an individual sport, but when you're part of a team or a sport club, you practice with everyone, so it feels like a team sport. It also helped that in Montana, there is only one season for high school swimming (winter), so that means that the boys and girls practice and compete together. And in helped, I mean that I got to look at some hot guys in tiny little speedos. :)

Anyway, I'm getting away from my point. It's that I miss swimming a lot. Since I've graduated college, I've gotten a Y membership and swam for a while before I cancelled for whatever reason. But with the motivation of a friend, who was also a swimmer in high school, I signed up at the Y again, and for the past week and a half, I have been swimming pretty much every day.

It's been going good so far. Just building up endurance since I was so out of shape going in. Right now I'm only doing about 600-700 meters per day, but once I start going only 3 times a week, I'll up that to about 1,200 meters per day. And I have to find some fun sets to do so it doesn't get boring. As well as perhaps buying some fins to work on my kicking and some hand paddles to work on my arm strokes. That's what the internet is for!
