I went swimming tonight.
I swam 600 meters.
To some that is not much.
To me after 20 years of not swimming. That is so exciting. Not only is it exciting, but I have been only at it for a couple of weeks. It has been 10 days since I posted this post.
The best part was I did my 500 in record time (for this season of my life). My first 300 was completed in 10 minutes.
Considering all of my attempts have involved ear plug malfunctions and lungs protesting and horrible coughing fits, this was enough to rejoice. I just didn't need to pause between laps and lengths. There were only 2 times I needed to stop long enough to catch my breath! It was but for a few seconds.
I kept pace with Little Princess. A few times, I pushed myself just to make sure I beat her to the wall. The point was that I was pushing myself.
I finished my 500 and said, hey why not another 100?!?! Still had time to spare. Out of the pool with a great big smile on my face. So proud of myself and excited. I had to restrain myself from not running over to Fun Girl in her practice to high five her. I was just so excited.
