Swimming again

After many years of being away from the pool, today at long last i begin my some form of exercise. I don't really like to run that is why i have always shied away from my running friends' activities. I don't have a running shoe and im a person who is not built for long distance runnings, tried that in school ran 800m and i could see the stars as clear as the Hubble Telescope.

There won't be any pool pics as i won't be risking my camera which is not water resistant to be near water :p So instead i will show off my new gear :D My Speedo Goggles ^_^

The packaging

Unpackaged

An extra goodie, a carrying case for the goggles

In you go to your new home :p

Entrance fee have increased but isn't that an unmistakable trend? Rm2 for weekdays

A sad and unfortunate event, the car parked next to me was broken into

After spending close to 1 hour in the pool and maybe 500m of swimming with long rests in between laps of course. I went to my car and wanted to leave before it gets dark, as suspected, the place is really not safe and from the picture above you can see that the Mercedes Benz had its front passenger side window broken into and the glove compartment searched through. Not sure what the thief got but im guessing sunglasses, Touch N' Go + Smart Tag and whatever valuebles would be gone. This fella is either new here or have no other car, driving a Benz at times like this is just asking for trouble if you ask me, leaving it in a an area like this, the owner should be quite thankful that he/she will still have his/her ride after their fun in the pool.

My shoulders are so damned sore because i have not used them so vigorously for a very long time. Since i did not use much leg power to do kicking, they are in better shape, if i got cramp then i might have problem driving so i had to not use so much leg power for the time being. Thinking back, i had to swim at least 1km as warm and the next day i don't have any sores unless i get cramps. I wonder how long it would take before i am able to do 1km again :p

For the time being, i think i may have to apply Yoko-Yoko, i can't really fully raise my arms now :p Sigh, old age sure has its way of telling you :(
