Not Quite a Mermaid
It’s Thursday, Thursday….
Okay, maybe I’m not any Rebecca Black but I’ve been way too excited for Thursday all day! Only two work days (Friday and Tuesday) separate us from vacation!
This morning started out harder than most mornings.
In the pool!
In case you’re new around here, I’m not exactly a mermaid in the pool. My style is more like laying by the pool or playing categories or Marco Polo in the pool.
But, this morning I conquered my fears and jumped in the pool for the first time since July 4th weekend. So much for my summer goal of swimming once a week.
Then
One thing hasn’t changed, I still look ridiculous in a swimsuit, goggles, and a swimming cap.
Now
Even though I’m not exactly a fish in water, today’s swim went 10x better than my last swim. Even though the pool was pretty crowded and I had to circle swim, I really enjoyed myself in the water. I swam 42 laps freestyle and then 10 laps using the pull buoys! That equals 1300 yards which mean I swam close to 3/4 of a mile!!
I’m not going to promise I’ll hop in the pool once a week but today’s swim made me more confident in my abilities and gave me a good starting point.
The rest of the day was spent stressing over work, crossing things off my to do list, and munching on breakfast and lunch.
I mean really, who do you think I am? Would I really have anything else for breakfast? I think not. But, please believe I loaded up on the peanut butter and banana this morning after my morning swim.
Oh Greek salad how I love thee!
Now, eleven hours later, I ‘m enjoying the perfect Thursday night. Sure, happy hours and dinners out in the fresh air were tempting but there was no where like home tonight. Loco had the right idea!
There is no better way to start the weekend than brie, toast points, and a glass of crisp Sancerre wine.
Question: Do you go out to happy hours when you’re exhausted or do you go home?
