And on Sunday I met the same friend, went back to the same gym and swam. I found myself totally out of my comfort zone, dependant as I have become on my swimming aids (flippers and finger paddles), and in my dash out the door I had forgotten them and my goggles. If I had gone on my own I would probably have decided to do some other kind of exercise, but it is amazing what a little peer pressure can do for your daring. So I searched out a pair of goggles in the lost and found (probably not very hygienic) and swam like a 'normal' person. The surprise being that I can swim quite well without the extras, somewhat slower but still with a nice stroke and without drowning or getting too out of breath. Of course there is nothing wrong with swimming with all the gear, it actually just provides extra resistance into the exercise, but if more cardio if what you are after than less is probably more. So I will be going at least sans aids at least some of the time in future.
The good times continued through my Monday - woo hoo. I did a photo shoot for the GF I spent so much time with over the weekend for her to use in her PR for her company. Gorgeous black and white portraits taken by a local lake. And later in the day when I met up with my PT Paul, I find out that I am his 'Client of the Week'.
