so out of shape

I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to start swimming again. Well today I finally busted out my bathing suit, goggles, towel, cap, flip flops... and took the bus to the pool to check it out. I didn't exactly know where I was going, but I found everything ok...

But I quickly discovered I am WAY out of shape! Last week on our hike, my friend Pam asked me how long I thought it would take to get back into the swing of things, and I thought I'd hop right back in and be fine.. wow was I wrong! I swam 50 laps and had to convince myself that I was saving myself from heart disease and obesity in order to just do that many. So, I'll keep you updated on my progress. The good news-I swam 3 whole laps of butterfly!
