Since most of you know how pathetically out of shape / obese I am, it might surprise you to know I was an athlete in HS. Swimming and water polo. I've tried the treadmill and walking outside, etc. and just can't get into it. So now that the pool is in I've started swimming laps. It's about 50' or maybe a bit more at the longest point so I can swim a fairly decent lap before turning around. I'm pathetically out of shape (to the point I have to rest for a minute or so ever 4 laps) but it's good to be doing something.

No particular reason for this post other than to commit to a workout regimen semi-publically.
