Sunday morning swim, well nearly, by the time I got in the pool it was the afternoon, just. Big smile from the lady on reception. Very, very cold in London today. However the water is lovely and the pool is very quiet. I've not been swimming for a while, first time this month, can you blame me. I'm wearing GF's goggles, they're well worn, they get all steamed up, they keep out the water, job done. First half a length and it's like I've never been away, this feels good, divine even, I start to slow down, I'm out of practise. As usual I tell myself I'll only do 40 lengths, 30 even, 60 seems like 160 lengths away, I argue back, I will do 60. At 40 I propose getting out but by the time I've done 50, 60 is within reach, I steam on. Nice hot shower, the changing rooms are so much better. Home to watch Man City push Chelsea easily aside. Big fat roast for family and friends.
