2010 is a year of discoveries for me: I rediscovered dancing, I discovered swimming that is crawling and I rediscovered myself along the way. I’m also discovering my limits and pushing them continuously. Since my feet have been diagnosed with lymphedema which is is a condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system – in my case caused by old running shoes that injured both my feet and lymphatic vessels – I have focused on swimming. After a crash course in crawl in the beginning of August where I learned the basics of crawling, I’m going further to the second level of crawling in my new course. While my feet are on the best way of recovery – given that I’ve taken pills for a week now – and I might try their condition very soon – with new running shoes of course – I’m totally enjoying crawling, especially the progress I’m perceptibly making: breathing and rhythm of breathing in combination with pulling and pushing of the arms’ alternating strokes is getting easier and more fluent every day. And my class and teacher are totally cool!
