Swimming
The past couple of weekends I've had nothing much (at all) to do so I've taken myself and my incredibly expensive swimming costume to the local pool and gone for a swim. I had totally forgotten just how much I like swimming (desipite having gone through another swim phase just a few years ago). The local pool really suits me as it's not too busy, not full of posers or pro swimmers. At the weekends it's all families and the odd random person pootling up and down the roped off lane. It's lovely and toasty warm and quite small so I can do lots of lengths and feel pleased with myself and not totally knackered or rubbish by the end of it. I really enjoyed the last session as I could totally zone out and not think or worry about much and not feel bad that I was wasting away more of my life.
I think swimming is great as it is actually a sport I can do comfortably without worrying about getting horribly sweaty and bright red within 5 minutes of getting started, I don't worry about stuff rubbing or wobbling about uncontrolably and I reckon no one looks great in a swimsuit and once you're in the water it's all distorted and everyone looks even stranger anyway so it doesn't make me look enviously at other peoples bodies.
Yay for swimming
