Amazing workout today! I am so blessed to be able to do that! That God not only provides me with wonderful friends with a pool but also gives me the physical strength and ability. Felt really strong and pushed hard. 45 laps in 32 minutes!! I think 45, it coulda been more! LOL I really need a lap counter as my mind wanders, my heart prays, and I forget how many laps I have done so I go back to the last number I remember! Very sure I did at least 45. The last 5, backwards, are tough as I am really tiring, but I push on even if a tad slower... anyway it felt good! Then 30 squats, 30 leg raises front, side and back each leg! Then 30 arm work 2 ways each arm. Then some scissors in a seated position floating and also stretched out behind when I hold onto the steps. So in all I did over 45 minutes...
I just wish I could do that well on 'land'. On the way home I though again about getting a bicycle and biking the mile to the pool and the mile back. That would be really good for me! I would need knee pads for sure and a helmet and prolly wrist and/or elbow pads... If some idiot hit me, though how they could miss such a wide target, it would be almost as good as being wrapped in bubble wrap! no? I long to ride a bike to the stadium, about 2.5 miles one way, but the trip home in the dark and through the #6 most dangerous small town to live in? makes me nervous to do it.
Maybe next year for my 75th Bday I'll buy me a bike??
