BUSTED! but it was Sink or Swim!

Weight 216 Time 1 Hour Running in Pool

Well the old Bursitis is not going away so the Physio folks recommended running in the pool again. After my knee hurt when cycling I thought I would try it.

So over to David's I go and slip into the wet suit. I look like a cross between the Michelin Man and a sausage (bulging at the casing). I jump in the pool and discover that the wet suit isn't buoyant enough. I tend to sink like a rock in the water.

I could barely keep mu nose above water so I jumped out of the pool and after rummaging around in the cabana found Nathan's Spiderman Water Wings. I tried them on and they barely fit over my elbows but finally they were partially on and I plunged back in.

SURPRISE - I could keep my mouth out of the water and not drown.

I merrily chugged away for 45 minutes when into the backyard strolled my sister in law Carol. (After all it is her house!) . Well needless to say I was caught with my Spiderman Water Wings on.

BUSTED!

Carol went back to work and I finished my hour. I guess I will be back on Thursday but I should buy a PFD rather than my Spidey cuffs.
