UP THE LAZY RIVER BY THE OLD MILL RUN

Since the weather has been yucky, I haven’t gone to the neighborhood pool and done my thing often lately. So today I bought a monthly pass at the Lehi Legacy Center. I walked for an hour against the current in the “Lazy River”. What a workout. After twenty minutes I was tired. After thirty minutes it was worse but I had something to prove to myself and I pushed myself onward. When I finally dragged myself out of the water, my knees were very weak and my legs were wobbly and it was all I could do to stand up straight and drag myself to the hot tub where I sat in such a way that the jets hit my knees one at a time and then my ankles. That helped but I was still “hurting”. I bought a hotdog at the snack bar and sat and ate it, then lumbered to the car for the drive home. Hew; hopefully my body will adjust to the regimen as I was told at my diabetes training class it would do.
