On Friday a friend came to me and said, “Do you want to go swimming at Lehakoe (the gym, pronounced Leh-haw-kway) twice a week?” My first instinct, of course, was to decline. BUT since I just put my intentions out here (and figured she had read them), I realized I couldn’t get away with it. So I said yes, and now we have plans to go swimming twice a week. I even bought a swim cap (required at the gym), nose plug (required for me to put my face in the water) and goggles (just because) over the weekend. I’ve never worn a swim cap before and tried it on last night. Ouch! I’m not so sure about this, but I have my friend to keep me motivated. Tonight will be our first time. We’ll see how it goes.
