1st week of the 2011 season


153

I have started to train again. So far I am only riding and swimming. My foot is not OK yet, but it feels a lot better.

This week I started to train with new exercises and I think they will help overcome the plateau that I was in, specially swimming. Now I have to watch the clock a lot more. Although so far I am just trying to get in to shape again.

It looks funny how hard is to start working out again, even the smallest effort looks huge. I used to be able to do those exercises at a much greater effort and it was easier. But I feel a lot better. And my body is getting leaner again.

On Tuesday I went to test my swimming skills, worse than I thought but this is just a starting point. I have a whole season to improve that pace.

On Thursday I went to the big pool again and I did a very long session, probably longer than what I should have done and I cramped my calf, it was such a huge cramp that I can still feel the effects of it. It has not affected my training although I had a hard time walking after the leg was at rest, but now I am almost pain free from it.

On Saturday I was very lazy and I went to the swimming pool very late, the good thing from doing such thing is that I saw lights at my old hockey club and I decided to go watch some hockey. The girls were playing and I felt well looking at it. I also thought that I could join them, I know it can’t be because I haven’t skated for 12 years and I lack all the skills but since sometimes I feel so good I feel like I could do anything, and the girls are not as demanding as the men. I also met an old friend of mine who was injured but he still plays.

Unfortunately, I can’t run right now because I could’ve been cross training and it sucks that I can’t do it. It would be very helpful for me to do a little more than just swimming and riding. It would be great to be able to play some tennis or any other sport, although I can’t do them because of my heel.

This week I have also tried to contact you back, it has been impossible for me to reach you, your phone was either off or you were out of signal. Man up and pick up the phone and face your dues.

Last Friday I went to a party with some friends. It had been a long time since I went out. It was great. I had a lot of fun and I enjoyed the company. I’ll miss you as much as I had missed you. I don’t like to say good bye because I know it will take us a long time to meet again. I hope everything goes well with you. I have to say that I felt very good at the party because I did not need to explain myself to anyone, I was relieved, and the people there knew me enough not to ask certain questions.

I have just received a present from you, what a big surprise. I haven’t had the chance to write you back but thank you. You did not need to do that but the calendar was very nice.

I have been dealing on how I could end a friendship without hurting anyone. Have I been too nice to you? Didn’t you notice I did not care about you? Do you realize that most of your talk is nonsense? I wish I could be nice to you saying good bye.

Once again you have popped out into my head. And by chance I was able to read an old post of mine and I think I just feel the same. It has been a long time since I had that posted and it just feels like I could copy and paste it here.
