Sunset 13 Hard work

I was non-stop today from 7:30 am until now. It felt good to cross things off my to do list. Progress, good progress was being made. I had my moments of exhaustion today, I think I needed a little more recovery alone time to recharge. I've been coughing a little more too (its almost time to start Cayston again....) When I went swimming at lunch time I felt stronger than the last time I went swimming. I was concerned because I hadn't exercised due to my back and then I skipped my treatment twice to let my lungs rest after coughing up some brown pink mucus.  It is interesting how rest is just as important as work for your muscles.  Rest in life is just as important as the busy times.  It allows reflection and recovery, for you to soak in what you have experienced. It is fun to feel my biceps that are actually there! By not focusing on my breathe as much today, it allowed me to concentrate more on the precise movements. Since I was confident my lungs were there to support my work I became aware of other muscles and how I could improve my stroke.  My thighs aren't screaming as much as I kick back and forth. It felt awesome to feel strong! This time I don't have that good pain from working out, I have that good tiredness from a good job well done at taking action!
