Exercise Day

Today, I was determined to workout. I wanted to be healthy.

I packed my bag and decided to go to the gym. I was looking forward to it. It is not often that I exercise, especially after working in the society. I had grown lazy. But today is different, I feel energetic and not only do I want to go to the gym, I want to swim too. Very ambitious.

I went to the gym at about 3.30pm, walked through the doors, put down my bag, and looked around the gym. There were unfamiliar faces. It was so boring to work out alone, I thought. Then I saw a sign that said something about bringing towel. I didn’t bring any. Couldn’t exercise because I had no towel. Excuses flooded my mind. I left.

I decided to swim at a club near my place, which I had not been for many years. I remembered that it had a small pool and thought that it would be great to swim there, even if I was alone. When I reached the club, I was the only visitor. Great! All facilities to myself. I went straight to the pool and started to swim from one end to the other. Then I realized that I couldn’t because on one side was 10m deep, while on the other side was less than 80cm deep. I could only swim half the length which was about ten steps if I walked. My goodness! I didn’t expect the pool to be so small.

In the end, I dipped in the pool for about 25 minutes, got up and went home. I will workout another day.
