There is no doubt, practice is important! Today I went early to swim, I wasn't even really quite awake. Started slow, trying to get warmed up, but soon it felt better.
The water was cooler today and it felt GREAT! Most of the time at the YMCA they keep the water really warm for those older folks who go in to treat their joint issues. But today it was cool and it felt really good once I was swimming.
I am feeling stronger every day and today swam over a mile in 50 minutes. I know the time may not be good but swimming a mile is an accomplishment for me I promise!
I miss the running but the swimming is feeling really good and especially as I become more comfortable and begin to push myself harder. Just like with running it takes time and practice.
One more week (and two days) of not running then I am hoping to begin again and build up to the hills here.
We registered for the Dublin Dr. Pepper 10K this morning. I am hoping that running here will help me do better there...this remains to be seen!

- This blog used to chronicle my running experiences, many of which are inspiring and uplifting. Some of which are frustrating. Now this blog will chronicle all of the activities I enjoy and the inspiration I find here in our Colorado home. Growing up in New Mexico the mountains have always called to me. But Texas is where we moved when we graduated college. We had, after all, to make some money! We stayed in Texas much longer than expected and it was good to us and to our children who were raised there. But the dream was always to get back to the land we love. And so in 2016 we moved from Texas to Colorado and life here has been beyond our expectations. I will try to keep up with writing, if for no other reason than to help me express my love for these mountains the activities they give us.
