Here you see the 50-year old me... :-(

Went for a swim today. It rained before and after my swim.. I wonder how lucky that is...

First ten laps.. I felt like an old man squirming in water. My every kick and stroke seem only to inch me forward. I did not have the same feel compared to that time when I set my personal record. This session felt lethargic.

Then I tried to challenge myself with another ten laps. In 18 min as usual. Halfway thru and I saw ten min past. This means NO WAY I am gonna break my previous record. Given today's peroformance, I doubt I will break it anyway.

The worst thing was that I had to stop swimming after the 8th lap. Cos of the sharp, stinging pain in my left knee. Had it in army and its back to haunt me now. So much for army memories.

An aching leg and a wormish squirm in the pool.. I can see my "grandpa days" coming..
