Rainy and a little uninviting

Missed yesterday’s swim due to the rain — and today, the sky was still grey. I did go, but the water didn’t feel as warm or welcoming as it usually does. Maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy today as much. 

Still, I tried something new. I swam without breathing, just to see how far I could go on one breath. Surprisingly, it worked — I managed to travel farther from my starting point than before. It’s not a long-term solution, of course, but it gave me a small sense of progress. 

I know I still need to figure out the breathing. That’s the real wall I need to get past. But for now, I’m trying to find my own way through it, one small experiment at a time.
