(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?

Rich, I've been fighting a cold lately, too. Get better quickly. I had a very interesting experience swimming today every time I went deep (starts and turns) my head felt full of pressure behind the eyes, it also made breathing a challenge, and I still pulled off 2 PRs! The other events we aren't going to mention ...
Hehe I had a mixed workout couple of good times couple of bad ones..but I've hit myself har Friday and today.. now I'll go easy on Tues and Thursday only this week...and rest up. I find provided I am not congested int eh chest...I can get by...if lung capacity is down I ten to not get beyond 100 before having to stop. If you can hottub do it and it should help the sinuses. Other than that...feel better soon.
