A Beautiful Pain

Last night masters swimming started up again.  It was great to start swimming with a group again, and I realized how much I do truly despise the backstroke!  It feels like I'm trying to swim through quicksand...and the quicksand is winning.  There were definitely some new faces last night, and a decent sized group of swimmers.  I'm not sure why but the coach put me in a lane swimming with Chad and Brian...both of whom are much faster than me.  So needless to say I was in the hurt locker pretty early on, and stayed there for the duration of the set. The best part about it though is that I thoroughly enjoyed the pain!  I know it's weird, but I did.

There are still spots available with the group so if you're interested  in joining us let me know and I can point you in the right direction.

On a different note, it's been very strange to only have 1 dog at home.  Winther is still recovering from his surgery last week and he's missing Roxy.  The poor guy looks lost when I come home (part of that might be the cone that he has to wear so he doesn't tear out his stitches).  He has a sad face when I leave, which kills me to see...but my Mom said that Roxy is having a great time walking 4 times a day and playing with Maverick and Gus.  Only about a week left for Winther to keep his stitches in, and then I'll feel a little better about things.  Maybe we'll go and see  Roxy this weekend, the hard part it that they can't play though...and keeping those two from playing is nearly impossible!

This is a "break" from playing ball this summer.  Hopefully Winther will be ready to go again soon.

I think it hurt me more than it hurt you. My triceps are killing me today.
