What would Oto-chan say?

Met a friend at the pool today. We arrive at the same time. But she has 4 kids, so...not sure how long that'll last.  She's really nice, though.

I'm going to start using the lake for the current and resistance. I'm pretty sure she won't tag along. I gotta start taking this seriously. I'm only up to 9 laps (which is 18 lengths, or 1/4 mile) in about 25 mins.  That's not great. And I stop for a moment around the 10th length because my chest tightens, so I have to breaststroke or something to get it to calm down.

 

I may not make it. But I really, really want to.

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try.
