I am the strongest person ALIVE!!!!!!!!

Got up this morning in agony with the dreaded back so decided to bite the bullet and head down to the pools again.Felt wonderful the minute I hit the water so went for my obligatory laps.

Got to 10 laps without a break and was high 5 'ing my self and thought "I could do that again" so headed off for some more.

I ended up almost entranced swimming back and forth counting laps, planning things I need to do this week, wondering where the hell the backing to the remote is, all that stuff. Before I knew it I was up to THIRTY laps!

I stopped for a few seconds and thought I'd better stop then I thought well why should I if I've still got the energy to keep going?I powered on to 38 laps and looked at my arms and they were shaking like I had Parkinsons LOL

Made myself go the extra 2 laps and finally dragged myself out of the pool after FORTY x 50m laps.I am SO incredibly proud of myself now. It took me nearly 2 hours of continuous swimming with no more than a few seconds rest in between laps.Girls/guys, if I can do this with the back I have, I can assure you with everything in me YOU can do it too. Head out there doing the things you like doing the best and bust open your own personal best.

Like I read somewhere a few days ago, you'll never hear someone say after they've finished exercising that they don't enjoy the feeling that comes with it.
