Hopped in the pool. Swam for half an hour, 750m. Felt good to be in the water. I realized as I was swimming that the steady breathing of freestyle swimming was no longer producing an anxiety response, but was almost comforting. I'm glad, it makes the effort that much less taxing.
About a week ago I noticed a neat and tidy bruise on my right elbow, just on the inside of the joint. It's almost the size of a quarter and very round. I had no idea where it came from, until I bumped the lane marker. The YMCA allows up to 5 people in a lane at once. Because of this, you have to stay to your side. I realized that, though I typically reach long and rock my body enough to avoid "splaying" to either side, I had bumped the lane marker enough over the past few weeks to create the tidy little bruise.
Just a thought.
