Intense hunger & swimming
I'm doing a medical blood test thing today, and it requires fasting for 10-12 hours before. But I wasn't hungry 12 hours before, so I'm actually fasting for 15 hours, and it's awfully annoying. Man, hunger makes it hard to concentrate.
It probably doesn't help that persistence has paid off in my newfound exercise of swimming (Google has those "infinite" treadmill pools), so yesterday I was able to swim until I was tired, rather than until the drowning sensation overcame me and I had to stop. It turns out that breathing more than once every 4 strokes makes it a whole lot easier. I think that breathing frequency will have to be a goal to work up to.
