Winter Morning Swim
Waking up at 6:30am is never easy. Waking up at 6:30, having coffee, and being at the pool at 7:00 is even harder. But I managed to do it this morning and once I got to the pool felt sufficiently lazy enough to not want to get in. I found myself a spot in the ‘medium pace’ lane and started swimming. After one or two lengths I started feeling fine and enjoyed just taking a slow swim.
Every 6 lengths I would take a short break and observe the people around me. There were quite a few old ladies in the slow lane with a few old men and even the woman that doesn’t like to get her hair wet. She was in true form again – keeping her head so high above the water that there was NO way she would even get the tips of her hair in the water.
What made my morning though, was when I got out of the pool and headed to the showers. As I went into the showers, this particular specimen of female came out... with her hair in a towel. She had washed her hair... which wouldn’t be unusual, but after the care she took to NOT get her hair wet, it was mildly amusing that she then went and washed it just after she swam.
I guess its one of those things I won’t understand for the life of me, but it did make me smile.

I'm impressed. The only way I'm getting up that early is if someone is paying me to do so. Doesn't have to be money though. I would get up at 6:30 for cheese danishes too. Of course, after I ate them, I would go right back to bed.
