Back to swimming for me while my IT Band settles down. I refuse to sit on the couch and get all depressed - been there, done that. I already bought my Mustang last year during my IT Band stint. Unless my darling Husband feels generous enough to let me trade mine in for the Shelby, won't be replacing cycling and running with a car this time.
So I went to the pool and did laps today. It was a great workout, my legs are still feeling the affects but my IT Band seems OK. I had to share a lane - haven't had to do that since swim practice in high school. I wasn't good at it then and I am not good at it now. I tend to over swim the person in my lane.
The lady in the lane next to me asked me how I could swim so fast. She felt like she was going backwards when I was next to her. I told her it was a curse of mine, not being able to slow down and pace myself. Tends to be a trend in my life and I told she was doing fine and would go the distance while I would be done due to the inability to slow down and pace myself. She laughed but sure enough she was still in the pool while I was done by 1/2 mile or so :) BUT I WAS FAST.

And just when I was going to suggest that perhaps swimming should be your exercise of choice! As I understand it, swimming is much easier on joints, etc.
You know, I'm sure there are competitive swim teams for adults...
yes, there are...it's called Masters. Remember Krysta Nye (divorced and remarried) - she was trying to get me to join her in a "comeback". tee hee. I may do it - I never rule anything out that requires pushing yourself and competing.
Sharon, where are you swimming?
