I was experiencing aches and pain all over when I was training for the my first marathon. I asked my son-in-law's father, Dr. Winston Tripp, how to deal with it. His response, 'swim'. Very funny. However, he had a good point - swimming is known as an ideal way to get in shape and it is easy on your body. Running experts have stressed cross-training is an important part of marathon training.
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of swimming but tonight I headed to the pool with Chris and did laps for 20 minutes. My goal is to swim twice a week.
