Swimming

I thought I'd try and add some of this to my workout plan yesterday, as it's something I'm not very good at. I can get to the other end of a pool without drowning, but I sure expend a lot of energy doing it.

I stopped at MC Sports and snagged myself some swim goggles. Then I set off to get my workout underway.

Overall my weight workout went fine. . . . I am enjoying weightlifting again. It feels good on my muscles. It feels like I'm accomplishing something. Although I do NOT understand how these boys in the weight room can be so amazingly LOUD when they lift. I swear the one guy was birthing a child. I wanted to go up and ask him if he was ok. Talk about annoying. And form? Yeah, almost all those boys have NO form. Their goal is to see how much they can lift, and how fast. No wonder they look all unbalanced.

After I wrapped up my weight workout I headed to the locker room to get ready for my swim. I busted out the new goggles, got the suit on and headed out the door that said pool. Well, I haven't been up to the pool in years. . . . .and I swear they changed things around a bit. That door put me into a twisty hall with a number of doors. Thankfully there was a guy out in the hall who said hello and held the door to the pool open for me. Well, I thought he did. Really he was just going in a door and when I followed him he turned around and informed me I was trying to enter the men's locker room. OOOps.

Finally I found the pool. I only lasted about 15 minutes of laps, I kind of forgot I'm a little freaked out to put my face in the water, and I was breathing so hard i probably would have drowned if I had tried. But at least I gave it a go. It was fun, maybe I'll make it 20 minutes next time. And hopefully I won't be so SORE the next day! Wow. I'm a pile of poop.

Well, some of us have to work on the weekends once in a while. . . . . so off i go to get ready for work. Yippee. Today I answer phones. That means, yes, you guessed it, Brittany works for free. Being commissioned is not an easy thing. Especially when everyone and their brother is freaking out about the state of the world. I hope that changes soon.
