All i could thing about today while I was swimming, was how much that I did not want to be there and be swimming! It made the day horrible and go by pretty slowly. I even cut out a kicking set because I was just not into it today. However, once I got home.. I felt great because I had gone swimming! I dont make any sense...
Oh.. and this is the best that I have ever done with staying in the pool since my swim team days. I swam 16 times in the month of May. I think I can improve upon that for June.

About Me
Hi! I'm Stacey... I have started swimming again. I swam competitively for 10 years- YMCA, high school, and then for 4 years in college at Grand Valley State University. I really have not been in the pool all that much since my last college season ended (tear) in Feb 2004. I love swimming. I always have, and I always will. I feel a special "oneness" with the water. It is both a stress release and a challenge. In its basic form, swimming is pure joy for me. However, over the years, unachievable goals, disappointments, and health problems would sometimes get in the way. Despite my love of the water- the way you can sometimes feel every little water droplet when you push off of the wall (the best feeling in the world)!, I have had a hard time getting back into the pool and sticking with it. I know that in recent years, my life has been missing something. I am pretty sure that something is the smell of chlorine! So, I am going to try again, and I am using this blog as a form of accountability! My goal will be to participate in an open water race this year.
