swimming tonight
Ah! The bliss. The 7-8 days between when our pool closed and tonight felt like much more than that. I'd been getting antsy. Being back in the water made me feel like all was right.
There really is something about swimming that differs for me from other exercise. Maybe it's that most other exercise seems to be at least a little bit painful where swimming only hurts when I'm done (my legs are aching now. in a good way.) I love being surrounded by water. It is calm. It is quiet, even if the pool is full of people and a water running class is being lead over a loud speaker.
I'll probably wait until next month, but I think that tonight is enough to get me to buy the year long pass to the county pools so that I can do this even when it's not summer time.
