I'm going to start swimming regularly again. My body is asking for exercise, and I do, after all, have free use of all the leisure facilities available to punters on our sites. I've never really taken advantage of that particular little perk in my contract. Well, I did when I first started, but then the novelty wore off and enthusiasm gave way to complacency and I just stopped doing it. I think I also resented the fact that, in order to enjoy the benefits, I had to spend even more time at my place of employment. Stupid, I know, but that's just the way my mind works sometimes.
My plan (which, let's be honest, I am very unlikely to stick to) is to start leaving home half an hour early each day and get a few lengths in before I make my way to my office. The pool is always pretty quiet in the mornings, at least at this time of year, so I can bob about at my own pace without crashing into other people. I know that once the Easter holidays start it'll be flat out busy and the pool will resemble a daily bowl of child soup, complete with armband croutons, but hopefully by then it will be warm enough for me to return to swimming in the sea.
