took the plunge

I swam for many years as a kid and through highschool. I never really liked it. I just liked being fitter than the other kids in my class. Swimming made everything seem so easy. I'll admit, it was a shallow reason to swim but it was good for my ego and that part i enjoyed. Well, i'm a lot more humble now and have welcomed humility into my life. but i still want to be fit like i was back then. i never felt more fit than when i swam. the timing was right to get back into it. i joined the PSU Masters swim team and had my first workout with the team tonight. It was rough. i swam in the slowest lane and still struggled a bit. Most of the folks there are training for Triathlons which i thought was pretty cool. I think swimming, jits, and the morning sessions will make for a successful tri and marathon season. i'm pretty excited. i just want to be cautious not to injure myself. Seems like i get hurt every other jits session.

I cant remember the entire workout but it was around 4000 yards wich was a lot for a first time back. My lungs and shoulders really felt it. Lots of Individual Medley work tonight.
