I went swimming this morning for the first time since I broke my elbow. I felt so sluggish, so when I got back home I counted the weeks and it had been 16 weeks (exactly) since I last swam. No wonder I was so slow. I only did 1200 yards. I've mentioned before that I was a swimmer growing up, so doing that little is like asking a golfer to play 2 holes or a marathon runner to run a 5K. It wasn't much. But let me tell you- it totally kicked my butt and I've been tired all day. But the good news is that I didn't drown, which is always a plus. Even with 2 lifeguards there, I doubt they are up for rescuing someone at 5:30 in the morning.
