Biked to work, after work went to the gym for 1 hour on the elliptical, and on my way home I figured what the heck, I'm going to the swimming pool... I swam for 30 minutes, then I was aqua jogging and this guy came and asked me if I believed in coincidences - He was the same guy who was swimming in my lane a few weeks ago, and at one point stopped and said "keep your center of gravity up, so that your legs kick higher up"... I thanked him, as I'm always looking for feedback to be better, since I feel so clumsy when I swim. So yesterday, he told me he had used me as an example with his employees as he was coaching them, sort-of a "pay it forward" thing, how sometimes just being nice to people and helping them for no reason pays off. Anyway, we got to talking and it turns out, he lived in Buenos Aires for a few years, a long time ago. It's nice to make new friends in the pool! After that, I biked home. Went to bed pretty late but got some good sleep that I really needed.
12 days people! I want to start the song "The 12 days of running": here's the first verse - you have to help me over the next few days...
On the 12th day of running, the bloggers said to me, slow down, don't re-injure your shins! |
