(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?
Ode to Swimming....(What number are we up to....)
The Polar Bear Plunge
Oh, some people say we are nuts,
We don't want to get stuck in ruts,
Running, Jumping, Leaping,
Off to freeze our butts!
Oh, I think the water will be cold!
Maybe I am getting too old?
Chilling, Shivering, Icing,
We can do it! We are very bold!
Oh, the Bay is a fun place to be,
But what is that.... floating ice I see?
Gasping, Shaking, Rasping,
Someone come rescue me!
Wish me luck. Saturday is the big plunge!
Swimmy :)
