Keeping Fit

As a Super Hero, it's essential to stay Fit because the last thing you want is to be half way through a Heroic Mission and you're stuffed and you Fail to be a Hero. So since I have stress fractures in one of my feet I have gone back to swimming to keep fit.

For some reason I really liked swimming for a few months. Then I realised that it's boring as hell, watching this black line at the bottom of a pool... up and back, up and back, up and back. Obviously I had some influence on the sport though because someone saw me swimming in my Super Horatio costume and the next thing you know, you see Thorpie and co swimming in similar outfits, but coloured black and minus the Cape.

So recently I have been pool running... running in a deep pool. Kind of like the least efficient way to tread water. I can now run one lap of this square pool with about a 60m perimeter in about 5 minutes. Pretty quick huh. Of course I get lots of people looking at me weird, they're probably thinking things like:

• That's a funny way to tread water.
  
• He's been doing that for half an hour, can't he figure out how to get out of the pool?
  
• You're supposed to run on land, not in the water!
  
• It's winter. Get out of the pool you idiot.
  
• Nice Costume!
  

Yeah so there you go. I might not be running on an injured foot on Sunday week but I'll be volunteering as I mentioned before.
