With everything you begin, it seems that there is an ending point to what you have been doing, and a starting point for what is to come. The tricky part is continuing on the path once you have set out, continuing to do what you have always thought is too hard for you to do.
Although I am continuing to run, although I didn't do so well last week. I am also starting to swim. Some of my friends have talked me into trying to complete a Sprint Triathlon, which consists of 400 meters swimming, 12.5 miles biking, and a 5k running. I have decided that I want to make it through my 5k before I officially sign up for it. I need to prove to myself that I can train for something and stick to it. I have always enjoyed swimming. When I was a kid, I spent most of my summers at the pool. In high school, I was on the swim team my senior year (the only year we had a swim team). Last week I went back to the pool for the first time, in what seems like forever. I was so sore the next day I felt like I could barely lift my arms. I went back today to swim again. It was so much easier. I mostly swam the breast stroke because it is the easiest to me and my favorite. However, I swam 400 yards in just under 11 minutes. This is my starting point, it can only get better from here.
