Catalogs, the Y, and feet

[cjsmith]

Pitched almost an entire file drawer full of catalogs last night. (Er, not the drawer itself, just the catalogs. I saved a few to look over later, and when I've finished reading them, they will go too.)

aelfie, I'm sorry I forgot to look at your quilt stuff. :-(

I went to the Y to swim this morning. Exhausted myself in a very short time. Came in from the pool and sat on the floor of the shower room just to catch my breath a bit. Yay! This means it is still not very time-consuming to exercise despite having to get dressed, drive somewhere, shower first (state law), shower again afterward, get dressed again, and drive back. I hope that by the time I get more fit and require more time, I'll also have more force of habit helping me out and will thus keep going.

Joined the Y on my way out. Ka-ching.

My feet hurt annoyingly again today. I got a good parking space this morning, and I was very careful about the push-offs on the side of the pool, so it must be the kicking in the water. Rats. I wonder whether this means I am giving up on babying them. Cardio health is not something I am going to put off any longer.

so it must be the kicking in the water.

I saw a set of flippers years ago that affixed to the leg rather than the foot. I googled but couldn't find anything like that now. How about some webbed gloves, so you could avoid kicking altogether?

I've seen some plastic fins designed to attach to the wrist, so that a swimmer's arms can generate a lot more pull. They look nifty. I suspect my first line of attack should probably be some basic foot fins. They'd prevent my toes from bending and flexing.

Is it just my perception, or do you always have a plan?

Nah - well, I always have ideas. "Plan" implies I know how to make it all happen. ;-)
