Yay, Salt

Application of salt got me enough traction to get moving. (Yay)

Am now going to go do errands, including acquiring more salt to de-ice the alleyway with. (Though I'm going to park on the street tonight, on principle.)

Oh, *hi*, exercise endorphins...

... so that's where they were hiding.

By which you might surmise that I made it to the Y, and went swimming, and it was good. Ok, it was also pitiful, because I managed 4 lengths (2 breaststroke, one backstroke, one sculling and kicking on my back) before my body went "Ok, done now." But that's better than nothing, and next time I go, I can aim for 6 or 8 lengths. (And I then went and trod water for 10 minutes, which is also not nothing.)

After which, there was sitting in the whirlpool for a bit. (And, I also have access to a steam room and a sauna there and look forward to trying them out.) I can already feel the post-exercise stiffness in the back of my shoulders, but in a "Hey, worked out these muscles" not in a "agonising pain" sort of way.
