So tonight is my swimming night. I have it on my calendar as a lesson from now through the end of the month. So it might not necessarily be a lesson but it is what I need to be doing.
Of course that can all change pretty quickly for me. That motivation to get to the Y is still a challenge... And today's road block... BP needed a ride to his car at the garage. Perhaps I mentioned bringing him to the office this morning? That generally means I need to bring him to the garage in the afternoon. Why he doesn't go to one of the 2 readily available garages here in town I just don't know... So this was almost my out to going to the Y. Except we left right at 5pm and by the time I would have arrived at the Y was still on time as intended.
But instead I had a wild hare... I called KP. She hasn't been swimming since before my trip so I thought we could go to the pool near here and give it a try. And that's what we did - she and I and her the two youngest boys. And at 7:20 at night the water was warm and there was no one else there. A good time to go indeed.
I did 200 yards breast stroke; 200 yards freestyle; a break; another 200 yards freestyle. I learned today that Chrissy did the breast stroke as her stroke of choice during the triathlon last year so I am feeling much better on that.
And to top it off I dove off the diving board at the end of it all. GOSH - that needs some work. I am embarrassed to call myself my father's daughter at how sucky my dive was - definitely not the same form he taught me all those years ago. Will have to try that again before the pool closes for the season.
