I’ve got to admit it’s “Getting Better.”
You know the words.
I am very pleased to record a positive day of good, hard work at the CentraState Fitness Center. My body feels strong and rested today. So I took the opportunity to beat up my core and upper-body pretty well. Then I went into the pool for 35 minutes. The saltwater pool is truly energizing. Today is the first time I actually noticed a difference in my body’s ability to control in the water. I am much more relaxed and under control as I swim. In particular I noticed how relaxed my core was during the backstroke. This I believe is a direct result of the two months of core work I’ve been doing, and I am thrilled by the results. Swimming has never been a strength. But today I actually felt as though I was propelling myself forward on all my strokes. Watching Olympic swimmers is exhilarating!
I am ready for a real running workout tomorrow. Very excited!
