Poor neglected swim blog.  I didn’t get in the pool last week, so I haven’t been here in a while.

But today I made sure I went swimming.  I even turned on my watch alarm for 5 AM.  Which got me in the pool by 6:03.  I dawdle like that.

I have recently found myself in a pit of despair.  As I’ve elaborated on my other blog, the baby I hoped to cuddle in January is no more.  I can’t help but worry myself to death with what I did wrong to make the baby stop developing, but in the meantime, I will be working out.

It felt great to be in the water.  My fatigue is subsiding, thankfully along with the nausea, and I definitely appreciated that in the water.  It felt so good to swim the 100 IM!  I glided through the water on that final length, incredulous that I was actually swimming the freestyle so smoothly.  My time was 2:58.89–not much to write home about, but it was faster and easier than the last time I’d swum.

Then, I got hit by this strong bathroom urge.  I couldn’t believe it.  I thought about getting out of the pool after just swimming 500.  I plan to ride bikes with a friend later, so I guess I could afford to get out of the pool early.

I plan to return either Friday or Saturday.  And maybe do the bathroom BEFORE getting in the water.
