The Dream-Day 6

To further mess with my head, yesterday's private swim lesson brought Zipper Switches into the equation. The ears understand what to do, but the body is saying, "WTF??"

Today, was my first day at the Suffolk Community College pool. I live about 5 minutes away so it's super convenient. Joe runs a Sunday program for various levels of swimmers and allowed me to come by and drill instead of trekking 20 minutes each way to Golds'. With the back still out of commission and not being able to ride or run yet, I'm focusing on the relentless pursuit of imprinting proper stroke mechanics.

My buddy, Pete, suggested I consider Rolfing to aid in healing. Rolfing reorganizes the connective tissues (fascia) that permeate the entire body. These connective tissues surround, support and penetrate all of the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. Rolfing works on this web-like complex of connective tissues to release, realign and balance the whole body. At this point, I'll try anything. WTF, it's only money. Oh, I heard it's ridiculously painful. Wonderful.

By the way, my breathing today sucked big time.
