There was a time not very long ago at all when trying to front crawl 25 metres would take the wind out of me and leave me feeling dizzy. Swimming regularly has changed that and it has been so rewarding to feel my stamina grow. Although I’ve been swimming somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-900 metres every time I jump into the pool, I take breaks here and there.
In my mind I’ve wanted to build myself up to the point where I could swim the length of the storm the wall swim section, 225 metres in one go. It’s been a nice goal to have in my head. Yesterday, without warming up, I jumped in the pool and just swam it. Actually I swam 250 metres. 
Felt wonderful.
Yesterday was an overwhelming day – seemed as though it was one thing after the other after the other and I had so little left by the time the day was done. Having something, like swimming, that just blocks everything out is invaluable.

I hear you, especially on those days. That’s why I climb. And when I don’t, I go all googley in brain and eyes.
Sure there are tough days even when I’m doing it, but even the tough days are moving you forward, somehow. Even if it’s just teaching me my body is older and to accept it.
