"I used to do 120, but now I only do 100," said my swimming friend, "L". "Oh, you've really slacked off," I joked. And I thought I was doing well with 50 laps. Not even close.
This is an amazing lady. She suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, but still works out every day at the Y and swims like crazy. Sometimes, when D and I are chatting or bitching at the end of a lane, L says, "Well, see you later girls, I have to swim." And off she pushes. She told me she had to keep moving, or else freeze up completely.
Some days, as I drive down Nosehill Drive to the Y early in the very early morning, the mountains are breath-taking; others you can't see them. Today was a breath-taker. It still fills me with the pride of being a Canadian when I feast my eyes on the spectacular and magnificent Rocky Mountains.
