Swimming

I just got back from a swim, and wow, it felt great! Partly it was nice just to be moving my body, since I've had to be pretty sedentary lately, and partly the swimming itself was just really enjoyable. I did 20 minutes of gentle back-and-forth laps, not even putting my head under the water because I was wearing my contacts. It definitely worked out my muscles a little (especially my weak little arms) but wasn't terribly taxing. Now I feel extremely relaxed and fabulous. I can totally imagine continuing to do this even after I'm able to run again. In fact, I'm tempted to go back tonight for another swim, not for the exercise (don't want to overdo it) but just for the nice feeling of being in the water. Yay!
