(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?

Back to the pool
Back to the pool
No longer can I claim
Distraction from school (or illness but that doesn't rhyme)
5 am shall come fast :snore:
When I haven't been in a week
Time to give up again
My precious hours of sleep
Tomorrow morning I'll awake
Drag my hinnie out of bed :coffee:
And the whole time wishing
I'd decided to sleep instead
Cross your fingers for no snow......
