Lake Swimming!
(Rob)
I was still sore today, despite my one day of rest. I have a
feeling that this might actually last a while longer too. I say this because
I thought a good run today might loosen my muscles up enough for me to
walk well again. It didn't. In fact, I got a big workout today. I went
for a cold lake swim with this nice girl, Rebecca. Now I thought I could
keep up with her before we started. I mean, I just road 2000 miles right!
I've discovered slowly that all the rest of my muscles have deteriorated.
I should have been able to swim a mile in at least 22 minutes. It took
me nearly 29 minutes! My excuse for Rebecca was that I wasn't used to
the water. I didn't have a wetsuit and I nearly froze my brain! I actually
had a massive headache after this little swim of ours.
