Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…

I absolutely LOVE the water.  There’s something calming about it for me – the sound of splashing and rhythmic kicking.  I think if I could design a sound machine to rock me to sleep every night it would be the sounds of swimming.  Although, now that I think about it, maybe it’s because there’s no cell phone beeping, ringing or vibrating in the water. But either way, I love it.

One of my goals for this year is to swim a mile in 50 minutes.  My biggest issue isn’t the distance or spending enough time in the water, it’s upper body strength.  I’m just a weakling from the elbows up.  Always have been.  So in an effort to be the best and most supportive husband ever Chris got me a boat load of swim stuff for Christmas.  I got a kick board, fins, paddles and a body bouy and I’m having a BLAST!  So as Dory would say, “Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…” and maybe that 50 minute mile won’t be so far off in my future.
