Swam longer and further this afternoon than I have in a long time. It was a long and frustrating week, and I knew I needed to unwind, but I guess I didn’t realize how much I needed to unwind. The amazing part is that despite the distance I don’t really feel sore – just relaxed. Maybe my boss should call me with a non-emergency as I’m pulling in to the gym parking lot more often. At least it’s better that these crises come up before swim/therapy instead of after. The crisis was dealt with, and mere moments later its residual stress was washed away. Certainly a better option than having a fresh crisis dumped on a still dripping stress-free body. Of course, maybe if the source of the stress were eliminated… hmmm. Something to think about over the weekend.
