You know, when I started out on this adventure, I was most nervous about swimming. Swimming? Laps? 32 of them? Hundreds of yards at a time? It was just not something I had ever done before. I liked being in the water, and I was fond of water aerobics classes, but that was about it.
Today, I swam 850 yards in half an hour. Yahoo! And I like swimming! I can actually sort of feel myself getting better at it, one week at a time! Today I stayed at my "21 minutes" yardage of 625 in 21 minutes, but I swam the freestyle stroke for 75 yards straight (a new record) and did that same stroke every other lap. It's getting better.
We've got to have these moments when we realize things are getting better. When you have one, recognize it for what it is (improvement and victory!) and enjoy it! Hang onto that feeling, and realize you can have that again....and again. Just keep showing up.
