when i first started running i made the mistake of taking off full speed ahead, and naturally i would be winded almost immediately. then i learned the key to long distance running is actually going at a fairly slow, comfortable speed. i am nowhere near a 10-minute mile - probably closer to 15-min mile, if that.

now swimming, holy moly, one lap and i'm fricken WIPED. i am equally in awe when it comes to that kind of stamina.
