One Week Off is Too Long!

The last time I swam was one week ago, so this Monday night swim was very much needed. It seems like we still have access to the long lane pool; I will be sad when USC starts the fall semester again and they resume regular practices that send us back to the dive pool.

My arms were extremely sore when I jumped in; the weekend was a busy one up in Washington. We were gifted with some new tools from Grandpa, and spent several hours trimming dead low-hanging branches off pine trees. The work was actually super fun, but my arms are unaccustomed to the buzzing of a chain saw and hefting tools and tree trunks around. Thankfully, this swim worked most of the lactic acid from my system.
