A new quest

Good morning! Let me tell you about my newest adventure. I have started swimming laps a couple times a week in the morning. I love it and it rejuvenates me but let me tell you something. IT'S HARD!!

The first couple of times I felt like I was drowning. I have never been a strong swimmer but I have always liked it. I would like to get really good at it.

I didn't want to be a boob so I swore I would learn to swim without a nose plug. That was my problem. I can't seem to get the rhythm of breathing so I don't die.

The other day. I was at the pool resting after a struggle to reach the other side without water in my lungs when I stopped to watch the lady next to me.

I swear she was the most beautiful swimmer I had ever seen. She had the perfect swimmers body, muscular, sleek, steady. She had been swimming when I got there and was still going when I finished. When she was close, guess what I noticed. A NOSE PLUG!!! I couldn't believe it! I was under the impression that all great swimmers could do it without one.

Then and there I said "that's it! I am wearing a nose plug!"

I told Bry about it when I got home and he said that Mark Spitz, an Olympic swimmer, who won 7 Gold medals in The 1970's, wore a nose clip the whole time. Well, from there on out, I have no problems wearing nose clips.

I bought some and it was so much better but they slide a little. Maybe I'll try some different kinds but so far, I was able to really work out. Today, I am still sore. My shoulders, back and even belly are aching! It feels good.

Well all, have a lovely day!
