water aerobics

My first time.

Today!

The room was hot and humid.

The pool water seducingly warm,

inviting me to come on in,

grab some weights, 

and 

start moving.

I had heard it would be good for me......

less stress on the joints,

but my friends,

it was positively therapeutic.

I was jumping and jogging and whipping up the water

like never before.

When the instructor said

"Jump higher,"

I did.

Over and over again.

I had wings,

I felt like I could do anything,

When I got out of the pool I felt............................

like I weighed 1000 pounds,

like I was going to faint,

like I was 100.

What happened?

I drug into the locker room,

held on while trying to get dressed,

needed water, lots.

I managed to drive home

and here I am.

I feel like I have jarred loose everything in my body.

I am nuts.

I know better.

Take it slow.

Go at your own pace.

I didn't.

Will next time.
