It's funny, KSH, when I read the title of your post, I thought, "If running were as easy as swimming is for me, I'd never finish a triathlon!" For some reason, swimming is hardest for me. I know it's the shortest part of any tri. For someone properly trained, it is easy. For me, it feels like the difficult task I have to get through in order to bike. Running's not easy for me, but I can do it.

I pictured myself running like I swim--zig zagging all over, sometimes running, sometimes hopping in place, sometimes skipping--it would be entertaining, I grant you that!

Enjoy your swimming grace, and know that run will come to you, too. L.
