Gone twice the distance
Last Tuesday evening I went for a swim and it was much the same as usual with some additional experimentation. You see, I have a bad back and neck which makes it difficult for me to follow the recommended techniques. For the past month I've been working on different styles to find something that suits me better.
After my hour or so in the pool and went to relax in the spa. While sitting there I went over a mental assessment of what I had done during the past hour to determine if there was anything that I was happy to keep trialing. After 10-15 minutes I got an urge to go back to the pool. This never happens so I figured it must have been a message to go back. On that note, I got out of the spa and went back to the pool. Would you believe it......50m without stopping. I was so proud of myself - I had just gone twice the distance.
Thinking it might have been a "one off", I went back to the pool today for my Saturday lesson and started off with the intention of swimming 50m before doing anything else. I did it. It's not a fluke.
I still have a long way to go but these small steps are encouraging.
