Out of place

I felt out of place today in swim.

Yes - I went to swim practice this morning. After a month 'hiatus'.

It didn't help that I was so stiff/sore from painting all weekend. And I had no speed. Agh!

I felt like a beached whale, I felt out of my element and in a different environment. I wasn't used to it and hadn't been in the pool for a looooong time.

But, it felt good. Although I almost ran the other direction when coach said "800 warm-up" - you know that doesn't lead to no good when it's a huge warm-up like that!

Anyhoo, I could only swim 40 minutes as I had an early start to the work day. It's really hard to get up for this morning's workout, since my dogs like to wake us up every morning at 12:30 a.m. barking outside, waking the whole neighborhood. Not only does it freak me out and get me all worked up, but it's annoying! Maybe they're trying to get us used to waking up in the middle of the night for a baby... not that that's anytime soon...
