As many of you know (or few of you don’t, most likely) my parents have a pool. It is 45 feet long.
Thursday, while trying to ponder my decision about the job in the sweltering heat, I decided to swim.
Long story short, it felt good. Friday, I did 25 laps. Saturday, I decided to go for a mile, and did 67 laps. Then it turned out my dad’s math was faulty, and I only needed 60 laps for a mile. Sunday, I only did 50 laps.
Today, I called the office and agreed to take the job. Then, I went out and swam. The water was still warm from last week’s steaming weather. I swam 25 laps, and took a break. Once I no longer looked like a prune, I did another 25. I repeated the process until the evening.
All total, I swam 120 laps. Two miles. I’m very sore now, but as I think about my appointment to begin the employment process tomorrow… I feel at peace.
