1500m

It's been about two years since I'd been to the city pool and for a while now I've been thinking that it's about time to get back into shape, and I FINALLY got around to going for a swim last week. Surprisingly the lady at the front desk remembered me even though we'd never spoken. When she looked up and saw me, she greeted me with a "Long time no see!" I said that yup, it's been about two years and she seemed pretty surprised herself. She replied with a bewildered "Has it been that long?"

I went to the pool again today, and a different lady was at the front desk. Again I was greeted with a "Long time no see!" And when I mentioned that it's been about two years, the same response . . . "Has it been that long?" I wonder if it's some kind of greeting they say to all the customers.

After a two year hiatus I expected to be totally weak and practically drowning after a couple laps. Astonishingly both times I swam my usual 1500 meters without even going short of breath! Go me!
