compete in a race

so i am terrible! i could not make it across the pool… but i’m not giving up until at least i give it a chance. next mini-goal is to make it across the pool without stopping (it’s the breathing part that’s getting me all mixed up – i keep swallowing water).

i used to be a gymnast and i competed for years, but now, as a working adult, i’ve practically quit exercise all together and i miss it. i can’t run because of a knee injury, so i’m starting swimming “lessons” tomorrow, and i hope to once again compete some day. starting off slow for now… first swimming class tomorrow.
