Up the Nose

I have goals instead of New Years resolutions and part of one of the goals includes picking up swimming after a long decade (or so) absence. Yesterday one of my friends who used to coach swimming decided to help me out. Yes, swimming endurance it quite different from running endurance or any other type. Luckily, she has quite a bit of patience.

We worked on flip turns which I am getting quite better at. Needless to say, I was getting quite a bit of chlorine in the nose- I think I can still smell it! Also, we worked on "superman" in other words, push off's. On top of that, we 1600 of freestyle swimming. I was definitely tired at the end of it all.

Yesterday's high was, I think 10 degrees or so. We had to park quite far out in the parking lot, there were quite a few people. Originally we thought we would be just about the only people there since we went when the Greeks had dinner, but there were still a ton of people. This is why I like going to the rec early in the morning!!! Anyways, we walked out and finally got to the car, she told me to feel her hair-- it was icy as well as mine. CRAZY! This is definitely Pullman for you.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is another day for swimming after class. I will have to keep you all updated with this. It will be an interesting road to learn swimming once agian.
