Those ever-fulfilling glints of sunlight, the lilt of the water that carries us, and the waves that exhilarate, and make us feel completely enlightened for just one fleeting moment, and one with the world. Thank you for this.

Much of my thoughts about swimming invoke a naucious Pavlov response from the accumulation of lactic acid in super hard IM sets with arms feeling as though filled with cement, soaked in gas and lit on fire. Of course this only happens Monday through Friday and then........ah, back to West Neck Beach, my sanctuary.rtoddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782082401907957728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454244657463222992.post-14469191938887516052010-08-10T15:07:53.296-04:002010-08-10T15:07:53.296-04:00Are you sure you're not a poet... this is a po...Are you sure you're not a poet... this is a post that we will be re-reading in the depths of winter just to make us feel better!
