Is it possible?

I've missed swimming?

My achilles was hurting a lot today, so i decided to take off from running. I went to the gym and lifted and then swung down to sit in the sauna for a bit. I hadn't been down in the pool area of the gym since November. The usual lifeguard immediately greeted me and asked if I had a lane. I told him "no" and he told me I could jump in lane 1 if I wanted it. I decided, "what the hell?" I climbed into the pool and swam for the first time since Nov. 22.

I've always hated swimming, but found myself realizing that I missed swimming. I don't know how that's possible, but I really liked being back in the pool. I only did 20 minutes, and I was sucking wind, but it felt good.


Last night I ran a little under 6 miles. It felt great and I had no issues with the achilles. Today was a different story.
