Something else I realized yesterday… Swimming for 3 hours a day will be quite challenging. It’s not as if I didn’t know that before, but it brought it home emotionally. I used to do that in college, but I had significantly fewer responsibilities and a dining hall that magically provided me with food. I think the take-away is that I should remember not to get toooooo ambitious with my career plans… yet.
Today I’m going to do some yoga, rest, and hopefully get another Mom massage to try and work out my shoulder and neck. I don’t feel too bad this morning, but definitely feet and neck/shoulder are not particularly pleased with me.
I think I should start looking at a 12-ish mile swim. If I can make it halfway, I can make it all the way. And I need some colder water! I can’t believe how warm this mountain lake is likely to be.
[2019 Commentary – I’ve been saying “If I can make it halfway, I can make it all the way” since the early 1990’s. So far, so true, and one of the most mentally helpful distance strategies I possess.]
