Day 1 Completed. Its been a few years since I have swam. I use to enjoy it immensely. Even though I only swam one lap today, clearly I am out of practice, as it did not go without incident. First off, started to suck air after what seemed like a rather long portion of the lap, only to look up and 👀 that I had not even reached the 1/3rd point. Next, because I could not find my goggles and had to order some on Instacart that won’t be delivered till later today, I had to swim blind (eyes closed). Since I started in the middle of this ginormous pool, I figured no problem. This was a misjudgment. I thought it pretty humorous when I ran into the sidewall bot once but twice. Apparently, I pull to my left when trying to swim in a straight line. 🤣 Finally, when I reached my goal of making it all the way to the other side, I took stock of how my heart was pounding out of my chest. I feel like I just ran a 10k. This is going to be an interesting challenge. 💪
I use to enjoy it immensely.
Key lesson: Restarting something you loved reconnects you with an earlier self.
