Swimming along

My plan for today was to go swimming in the nearest council pool to check my progress.  Went to the website to check the times and they’re shut to the public this weekend for a gala.  Argh!  I mean, I suppose it’s good that I checked the website before I went, but still.

There are other pools I can go to, but none within walking distance and I can’t afford the bus fare at the moment.  Ah well, I’ll go next week instead.

The most annoying thing is the pool is beside a supermarket that I was planning to go to as it’s broth weather and I want to make some.  I’m going to the same supermarket just in a different location.  Just waiting for my phone to charge.  I’m also going to listen to the first episode of the McMillions podcast while heading out there.

I’m really enjoying my swimming.  I’m not going to say it’s relaxing, that’s not the point of me being there.  But, I’m usually tired when I leave and that is why I’m there.  I’ve noticed that my stamina is increasing as well.  I think my SWOLF score is coming down, but I haven’t checked that too religiously anyway.  It’s also good for clearing my head.

I’ve discovered that exercise has improved my outlook, perhaps because I can’t wallow in my woes as I work out and instead develop mindfulness by living in and appreciating the present moment. Glad your swimming is so good for you!

I find whenever I walk somewhere I always feel better when I come back…Like I have accomplished something….
