Return to the Water

So it would seem that I have run my last run here in Houston. And I still have a couple of weeks before the big move. Why? Well, let me tell you. Remember that little hip injury I had? Well, turns out I've overstrained the ligaments, so I have to give the damn thing 2 to 3 weeks rest. But the doctor said that swimming is A-OK. So, looks like it's back in the pool for me. Of course, I've already packed up my gear for said sport, so I had to go get a new suit and goggles yesterday, and I have to pay to swim at the UH pool. I'm sure there's a cheaper deal (UH charges $8 per use) out there, but their pool is swanky. Very nice. And I should know, I've swum in some pretty outdated, small, and just plain useless pools. This one is for swimming, damnit. I love it. Reminds me of the meet I swam back in high school at IUPUI. The pool there had been used for a Pan Am Games, and it was just... Beautiful. 

So. Back to the pool. Of course. 

(I keep thinking that is where my destiny actually lay. That I am cursed to discover that where I really belong (as opposed to a marathon course) is in the pool. Masters swimming. Funny how things work out.)

Hey Chris! So, it's about 2 weeks since this post. Hope the move is going, well, swimmingly. :-) I like that adverb and it suits YOU. Send out the updated info. Keeping your TX cell?

*Good thoughts for smooth travels*

Much love to you both.
