Morning Swim

This morning was a good morning. My daughter and I went to Apple Valley Aquatics Center to swim. It was a lap swim session. All of the lanes are in the deep end. Swimming is such a wonderful way to exercise. I was very out of breath after the first two laps. First lap was breast stroke, second lap was back stroke. I also did a lap of sidestroke. There is a big difference in my daughter's and my ages (40 years to be more precise). But we did it! I completed nine laps (some with the help of a kickboard). We will be going back. Health is so important, but as my daughter reminded me after our swim, "Mom, you have to eat right too." Wow, did she have to say that while I was still catching my breath? But she is so right. Thank you Bekah Joy for reminding me and for going to swim with me.
