Allergies

My nose is completely stuffed up from swimming two days in a row. I did manage to wear my nose plug this evening, but it can only do so much. And somehow I still managed to get a noseful of water - even while wearing the plug! Go figure.

I had to race from my floor hockey game (we lost again) to my swim class. I missed the first half hour, but a lot of that was review. We did a lot more stuff with our arms tonight, which was great to give my sore legs a break. But then we spen the last half hour doing more kicking stuff, so my legs were burning again.

I seem to be the star pupil. I just really have a knack for swimming and it comes really naturally to me. I could see the other people in the class struggling with things that I was able to do right off the bat. In fact, I had intuitively been doing those things in the water, I just hadn't known what it was that I was doing.

Of course, I'm getting anxious to put it all together and actually "swim". All these drills are getting a little boring, but I guess I just have to stick with it.

This week-long course is also wreaking havoc with my eating. Swimming makes me very hungry, but since we end so late (9PM tonight, but 10PM last night), I can't really eat "dinner" afterwards. I'm going to come in really low on calories again today. Actually, I'm not really feeling hungry; I'm more concerned that I won't lose weight if I cut back my calories too drastically.

It's also wreaking havoc with my sleeping as I am so wound up after swimming that I can't go to sleep. It's almost 11PM now and I'm not even tired.

Gotta get all my wet gear hung up and head off to bed. Maybe a nice warm shower first to help relax me a bit...
