Swimming

Stroke 1, stroke 2, breathe.....stroke 1, stroke 2, gulp/choke....stroke 2, stroke 1....now, where was i?!  Getting the breathing right is hard and i've managed to "swim" without getting my head underwater for almost 3 months....hmmmm.

I think one calls that playing rather than swimming.  My legs seems to be doing well with the flippers - one of the regulars introduce me to trainer flippers so i might start doing that....first the breathing.

Some of these guys are really inspiring especially the fast one in the lane beside me.  I called him ironman - not to his face of course.  He is an inspiration :)  I hope he continues to show up as i need some extrinsic motivation.  Somehow the attempt to keep up with him feels good (not his speed just the length of his workout)   One time i discovered that my fastest (with flippers) was his "slow" day.  Oh well.... i try :)  He is iron man after all!
