The boys started asking me at 9:00 this morning when they
could go to the pool. Each time I replied with an 11:00. You think they would
figure it out, maybe remember that time, since I told it to them (at least) 20 times between 9 and 11.
They didn’t. Boy this is going to be a LONG summer! Since hubby went to work
early and I was up late with N (he has recurrent bad dreams that cause major
tears) I didn’t get up with my alarm to go for a run. I figured I could rest
today since I had those sucktastic 5 miles yesterday.
Hubby reminded me last
night that I would be at the pool so I could use the kickboard to “swim” laps.
That’s what I did today. At each adult swim, the kids got out and I got in. I
think I had 4 repeats of 10 minutes. All I can say is, I have NO form. I was
kicking and kicking but was not really moving anywhere. L used to take year round
swimming lessons and he would do the same thing, kick with all his might to go
nowhere. Poor kid, I now know where he gets it from! I need to have someone
give me some pointers on this kicking thing. I am also going to pick up a pair
of goggles for the boys and myself so I can learn how to swim with my face in
the water. Some day I wan to work towards tris but I can’t do that without
knowing how to swim. If all else fails, I’ll call G and ask her to explain how
to slog and I’ll run in the pool.
Hope your day is delightful and full of miles! Happy Running
y’all!
