today i walked in to the pool with a sense of apprehension. it had been over 10 days since we last met. i had all my familiar gear with me forming my comfort, or combat as needed, but still, i wasnt sure what the afternon would bring. i was hoping the old addage was true- absence makes the heart grow fonder.
i had to share a lane with some dude who is there quite often and always makes me repeat what i say. he's always like - so.. whats your work out today, but in a Joey from friends kind of way. pretty creepy when the only thing seperating you from him is a lane line...
but today i found my groove in the water, it came back to me. i guess i knew it would, but not all at the same time. its a struggle for me each and every time i get into the pool. struggle to feel confident in the water and find my stroke. i know its there, i've worked hard to get it. its the impatient side of me that wants it all right now. that wants to do 100s easily on 1.30, who wants to glide thru the water, who ultimately wants to race with the opens.
i left that pool today with a renewed respect for the water. and a bit more confidence in me. all in a day's work.
