My plan for today was to hole up inside here. Watch the game. Watch TV. Crochet. Lay low while the neighborhood went nuts.
But, I woke up to an aching back. As I had my coffee, The idea of stretching it out in water seemed so good. The pool doesn't open til 8 on Sundays. So I had time to think and plan. I got there at 7:55 and was the only one in the pool for a good 20 minutes. And, ohhhhh did it feel good. So good. The water was clear and all was calm and just lovely. I swam laps for about 45 minutes and then I did a couple of laps of water lunges and other stretchy things. By this time, it was getting crowded. So I got out and showered and dressed and went on to the fancy market.
Generally they do not have a lot of prepared foods out before 10/1030 so I knew my pickin's would be slim but I figured if I got meals to take me to Wednesday or Thursday when the neighborhood would be normal again, it was a win. I did better than that. And also got ice cream but probably not enough.
The festivities start at 10 and I rolled into the garage at 9:50. So efficient. And my back feels way better. I think my lazy ass fat back might just be the ticket to get me swimming regularly again.
But, I do need to put a comb or brush into my swim bag. Oh and I found the third inhaler that went missing a while back. In the bag. I need to reswizzle all the contents today if this is going to be a thing again.
Now we have the baseball game - the last one until the end of the week.
Back in the olden days when I swam every morning, I posted a swim selfie every morning. I don't plan on doing that any more but I did take one today just for old time's sake.

Date: 2023-07-10 09:07 pm (UTC)I used to love it, but not having access to a pool for years, I'd need remedial swimming lessons. (I can still do my backstroke and side stroke, but have totally lost all the others.)
