shapeofthingsI had forgotten that a swim could feel that good!
Woke up this morning with the urge to hit the pool. After almost 2 weeks of being too sick to do anything more strenuous than go for a walk it seemed a good idea to listen to my body. The pool was quiet and sinking into that blue, bubbled world was pure bliss. I don't know what happened, but after a couple of laps to clear the cobwebs and test out my lungs everything just clicked. My stroke corrected itself to be stronger and more powerful than ever before (I suspect taiko's helping): 50 metres has never felt so short!
I have no idea how far I swam; I didn't want to stop! Eventually I had to once my calves started cramping up. Now I'm tired but I feel amazing: really alive and physically present with a body that's working like it was born for this.
Feels good. =o)
