At the Y

Took the Boss to the Y today so she could try the water aerobics class. After spending months basically in a chair, she thought this might be a way to regain some muscle without putting much stress on her repaired spine or bad knee.  It went well, except that her knee now hurts a lot.

While she did her thing I decided to swim some laps to work my lungs and heart a bit, and keep some strain off my arthritic hip.  It's been maybe 30 years since I did any swimming, and that was quite evident.  Instead of doing laps, I could only go about half the pool length without stopping to rest.  After about 30 minutes of stop and go I called it quits.  Sure felt it when I got out of the pool.

Getting old sucks.
