New Year’s resolution #1: Get back in the pool

Well, my no-swimming streak remains alive and well. The last time I swam was at the Great Illini Half Ironman race in September. For those of you keeping track at home, that’s close to four months without swimming. Yikes… Something about jumping into a cold pool in the middle of winter right now is not really exciting me. That, coupled with the fact that I know the first couple of times I start swimming again are really going to suck has me less than eager to jump back in the pool. Still, I know I need to get back in there eventually if I hope to improve my swim times at all this year.
