Teban at the Cebu City Sports Complex
My aim for a better health made me decide to take swimming as a new habit. 10 days to go before I hit my first quarter of a century and with that I want to make sure that before that day comes I would be fit and good as new. The digits that always go up and never comes down does not really bother me at all because for me they're milestones of my journey.
I've bought myself a new swimming trunks, a new swimming cap and goggles three days ago. It's an advance present for myself on my upcoming silver year. Yesterday I had them baptized at the Cebu City Sports Complex. I went there straight from the office and hit the pool. It is my first time to be inside the complex and it seems that everything is well maintained. The shower is clean enough and the pool is of course as expected chlorinated to keep the germs and bacteria away.
After warming up I took a dive and did some laps. On my second lap I started to feel the effects of my semi-sedentary lifestyle in the past few years. It used to be easy but well things have changed over the past years and that includes stamina. I never expected it to be very easy but being there in the pool is already a good start.
On my sixth lap I almost run out of breath so that made me stop and take a rest. I've bubbled until my heart eased itself from knocking my chest too hard. I spent 30 minutes looking at the people by the pool. I saw people that I think obviously older than me and a lot of kids who are trying their best to learn how to swim.
I went out of the complex with a thought that first days ain't that bad at all!
