Vroom.....

I am taking a swim class this semester. Because of the Olympics this year, the pool is setup for that competition distance - 50m. At first it was daunting. I didn't think I would be strong enough to swim that. I have proved my doubting mind wrong. I may not be the fastest swimmer (I am the oldest) but I am working on my health and that's what truly matters. Today we swam 800m. To put this in perspective, 1600m is just about a mile (1.61km = 1 mile). The really fun part today was we got to use fins. You can really move from one end of the pool to the other. Tomorrow my legs may feel it. Vrroom....Vrrooom.....Vroom.
