I went swimming yesterday. I haven't been for five weeks because of health issues or having other appointments but I was determined to go.
I really enjoy my swim but there are steep steps to get into the pool we hire, so, if my legs are unhappy, I can't swim. It's a really low cost pool which we hire and quite nice once we get in. (The other four Monday Mermaids are all fitter than me!)
But yesterday I got there and I swam for about half an hour. I enjoyed it and felt really good when I got out. I came home and then the fatigue set in. I paid for that half hour swimming by three hours in bed, most of it asleep.
But for all that, I'm so glad I went.
Sounds like you got quite a work out, swimming. I'm glad you were able to spend the next three hours resting. I took an almost 3 hour nap, this afternoon, myself, and I didn't even swim!
ReplyDeleteYou've made me feel better, Bless!
DeleteWe had a really busy morning yesterday, got home at 3, and both fell asleep. At least retirement enables us to rest when we need to
ReplyDeleteThe time to nap is one of the (many) lovely things about retirement.
DeleteWell done on your swim. And on your nap! :-)
ReplyDeleteSwimming always makes me relaxed and I usually fall asleep when I come home. The heat is making me uncomfortable today so I will do some indoor jobs. Catriona
