So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
awesome story!!!!!
This is an awesome story and I love the doctor's response! I've been meaning to drop a note to my surgeon who worked on my shoulder a few years ago and this made me get off my butt and do it! Thank you. :)
Thank you very much, BrendaL and flystorms!
Brenda, you dug that up from awhile back, but I thank you for doing so. I am on my way to Nationals, tomorrow, feeling a bit down that I am swimming nowhere near my NQT's. Due to a variety of physical/mechanical (not illness) issues, it has been a difficult year for me and my training. It has been one step forward and two steps back, rather than the other way around.
Re-reading my post is making me put it all in perspective and remember that I should feel lucky to get to go to Nationals and swim in the first place! Even if I may not be able to "race" my events, just being able to make the attempt will be awesome.
I am happy to hear my story inspired you, flystorms. You will make your surgeon's day, I am sure! :agree:
