Logs & Writing
This is a collection of my short and longer writings, lifestyle notes and blog, vlog, favorites, quotes, and other publications: the flow of present moments, now, current happenings and activities, mental states, immersion, focus, involvements, moods, feelings, and states of mind.
This September I swam more in a pool then in the ocean! Having a month-ticket to a nice neighboring pool makes it easier, and there was too much seaweed along the coast this year after the first hot weeks of Fall.
In the pool I used to make around 60 short lengths (25 yards) first, but then my friend pro-swimmer suggested I should do 66 (one mile, or 1650 yards, or 1.5 kilometres), and I switch to a swimmer's mile a day. I turn like I do in open waters, barely touching the walls and it takes me the whole 45 minutes of non-stop breaststroke to finish :) You may laugh about it, but for somebody whose main sport in youth was piano I am doing pretty nicely.

This is me on the way back from pool after swimming. This is me, Lena, after the usual 1.5K swim.
I've been swimming in an open pool for many weeks now, almost every day, almost the same distance - 1.5 kilometers.
