(I somehow lost my post in the middle of reviewing it--sorry if this ends up posted twice! Now let's see if I can remember what I wrote.)
I was talking with a friend about swimming and she said she started "swimming for life" x number of years ago. I got the sense that she meant that it was more than a good workout--it kept her "alive." I have to admit that it has that kind of effect for me, too. At the risk of sounding too new-agey, it's nourishing in more than a physical sense.
What does swimming mean to you? How does that compare to other sports or activities you do? How does that meaning influence your goals and performance?
Fort, I think you need to get the pool more because you obviously have to much time on your hands. ;)
Must admit though.......very impressive!!!!:bow:
Thanks guys!

It only took 15 minutes! The famous soliloquy was right in front of me so I could get the cadence and tone right. Had to add a few more lines for the "marriage" part. Besides, I "write" part time for a living. So speed pays. I don't think I've hit my writing speed cap yet.
And hey, I have been in the pool more! Tomorrow morning is my 4th workout this week with more yardage and a little more intensity. Just got back from a session of lifting and drylands at the gym. And I've gone running twice this week. So I'm good. Much better than in a long while. Hope everything stays reasonably well mended (fingers crossed) and THAT MY TWIN SISTER GETS BETTER FASTER AND CAN JOIN ME IN THE POOL AGAIN!!!

I must say you are waging a formidable war. Quite engaging, as is your new avatar! Like it much better than the fish! I think your gun is bigger than Rich's gun from what I can tell. The avatar/signature escapades have added some real entertainment value to the forum. Seems we can count on a change of signature from Poolraat almost every day.
