How has it been 7 days since I last swam?

Not going to workout one day leads to another day, then to another one, and pretty soon, you’re in a situation where a whole week has passed and you haven’t been in the pool.

Not good.

Well, at least I finally made it back to the pool today.  I definitely felt more sore than usual, but it was still great to feel the water again.

The longer I stay out of the water, the more sore my muscles become, due to the lack of stretching out.

I bestowed my stick figure with a gold medal today, due to my breaking through my 7 day unplanned hiatus from swimming.  I’m proud of myself.

Halfway through this past week, I told myself to just give up on swimming, and take a break for 3 months.

Luckily, I ignored the advice from negative me.

And, just so everyone is aware, I realize my drawings are still at the level of a kindergartner. I’m considering commissioning Imagineer, my 8 year old, to draw for me, until I have sufficient time to improve my drawing skills.

But the truth is, sufficient time will most likely not present itself in my life for another 15 years, when Bam-Bam graduates from high school……oh well…….

Here’s the workout….

As usual, I’m glad I got myself out of bed to make this workout, but it was very, very difficult. And, as usual, I need to get in bed earlier at night.

The 10x100s would have been much more productive if I had a little more gusto left at the end of workout.

After swimming, I was off to watch two soccer games, one for my four year old, and one for my 8 year old.  Mountain Man and I had to divide and conquer, so he went to my 10 year old’s game.

I was much happier watching these games knowing that I had gotten my workout in already. The lovely smell of chlorine on my skin is my sign that I took care of the working out business for the day.

Apparently, the chlorine smell is my personal sign of triumph.
