Well it may not have been much, but I did get in the water! Also, last night I cut up some jalapeno peppers for something I cooked today. I have never had a problem with the juices before.. but all day today my fingers have been on fire. Seriously, if I didnt see that they weren't bursting into flames- I would believe that they had burst into flames! They even burned some while I was swimming my laps, and the hot shower afterwards was brutal! Oh and today I did two 25s withoug taking a breath. The first one was easy.. but the second one was a lot harder.. maybe next time I will try no breath fly??

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.
