assumptions for some time, i was on a trip with my husband one summer, and we were going for a swim. our goal was to get to this island that was a little ways out. it was the first swim of the season for me, and i was a little nervous about how well my body would do. but i was amazed, when i got into the water, at how i got into this rhythm and i was really moving. i felt strong, athletic, balanced and good. i got to the island, took a little rest, then started back … and oh my god, i was winded and off balance!
