About gas, anyways.
I know I’ve said this before, but I’m so focused on not drowning that I can’t think about anything else. I’m really starting to like my hour in the pool of the mornings (except sprint day, I have weenie arms). Today I was able to choke and gag on water and still keep swimming. I didn’t have to hang on the rope not once. It’s the small things that count.
Stroke, stroke, breath. Stroke, stroke, breath.
It’s kinda nice. The controlled breathing is really relaxing and the drive home is very mellow – an emotion I don’t have much of anymore because it’s all about high anxiety around here. Maybe I should install a lap pool in my living room so I could swim instead of pace?
Stroke, stroke, breath. Stroke, stroke, breath.
Pre-training training going strong for week two. 1600 yards, 1 hour – mix of fists, catch-ups, IM and some other stuff. And, could someone please explain to me why breast stroke is a recovery stroke?
I try to aim for the doggie paddle myself. No breast stroke here. 😉
Oh Susan, I wish I could be there to pace, or swim, with you. Hugs, my friend.
It’s a recovery stroke for me because you can breathe so often. But if it doesn’t feel like a recovery for you, maybe you need another stroke. 🙂
Sidestroke has always been a recovery stroke for me, but you just don’t look as good doing it.
So good to have you back. Where is your inaugural gas post?
Love the new look blog. Love the post. Agree about swimming. Have you had lessons?
Susan, I have missed you! So good to see you are back!
I’m so glad you’re back! I was hoping your gas problem had magically disappeared, but I’m sorry to see it hasn’t. Love the new look.
I am in favor of whatever numbs your gas-drained brain, even if it is the breast stroke.
Breast stroke? I hate that stroke…I would rather freestyle, backstroke or even side stroke before trying to breast stroke. 🙂
