Personal Requirements
I have 7 personal requierments, 6 are doing somewhere between okay and awesome. The 1 that I haven't undertaken yet is a conundrum, learning to properly swim ( lessons, not just goofing around, I can swim ). I see it's value, understand it's not huge but still I have no desire anymore to do it. Do I consider this to be a failure, no, I consider it to be a choice. I know that undertaking this will be physically demanding in ways that I don't think my old body will adapt to. I do not want to take the chance of damaging/over working my wrists, shoulders and hips any more than they already are. I am not as pliable as I once was and need to be realistic as to the limitations of my body. Maybe by easing into this requirement over an extended period of time and not rushing so I can fill a check mark in a column is the way for me to do this.
Those are my numbers so far, please share yours.
