ROZZIEG WEEK FOUR

2/25/10 So I cant swim. However, i have my own little aerobic routine i do at the pool. I always use the lane next to the edge of the pool. Somehow it feels safer to me to know i can reach out and hold the edge whenever I might need to. When I get there this morning there is someone already swimming in both the outer lanes. 'So should I go home or try to use one of the other lanes?' Did I mention I cant swim? Did i also mention there are no lifeguards at this pool?! So, I get in the second lane. Fear is all in my ear trying to get the best of me. I start my running laps in the pool but i am momentarily afraid that i might slip and fall and not have any safety net, no wall to hang on to. I start out slower than i usually go trying not to let fear cripple me. I am talking to myself about what i have to do. I keep going. "I'm doing it!" I tell myself. eventually the other people left and I moved to an outer lane. But the lesson for me was not to let fear win but to keep going no matter what.
