so, this happened, and yeah, it was gross

Travel plus cold/respiratory infection plus no access to pool at the college plus (and this is most critical) my disinclination to go have added up to two months and a bit spent NOT swimming.  Today, though, I rallied myself to get down to the Rose Bowl

and get my alarming fat butt into the pool.

And yeah, it sucked.  Big time.

I tell myself that it was better than no swim at all, but I also tell myself not to let this be the last time for two months.  We shall see.

Sigh.

Positive thoughts, Peter.  Positive thoughts.
