The first day back is always easier than the second. Today I was bothered by little things like the tightness of the goggles. I must have used up five whole minutes stopping and adjusting them before I got into my swim groove.
Then I realized I had already prayed earlier on the bike ride. While doing the ten laps around the track, I did my usual warfare prayers.
So when swimming, I began automatically doing them all over again. Then I realized I had already said them and began to pray for those who are old, sick or in pain (like myself.) Ha.
Swimming did not come without pain today. I felt that old throbing in the lower left back more than anywhere else. It just felt good when I got into a little ball and turned around to go back the other way. Then the deep end was taken, so I did not get to do the bicycles. But I already biked this morning, so I did not feel too badly about that.
I had a lot of trouble walking after getting home, and taking the stairs felt awful. Getting up from the chair in the new way was not very easy, either.
I forgot the ice, so I guess that would be the next thing on the docket, at least after doing some stretching on the ball.
I am just glad I get to go swimming again!
