Rainy and low on energy

The rain returned today — and with it, a sense of sluggishness. I wasn’t feeling very energetic, just like yesterday. But I still showed up and got in the water. 

I'm still working on my strokes and especially the breathing — trying to time it right, trying to make it feel natural. It’s not there yet, and I know it won’t happen overnight. This journey is longer than I imagined. But then again, I’ve only just begun.
