"I Almost Forgot!"

To write a post tonite.

Probably because it was not an inspirational kind of day. I was still recovering a little from my long run and so decided just to take it easy. That's the problem with winter, as the best thing for me today would have been a moderate distance ride. Oh well....god grant me the serenity and all that.

I did enjoy a new experience today however. Actually did I say enjoy? Rather not I'm afraid, but it was new. I went to a local triathlon place that has an endless pool. If you've not heard of that it is bascically a big tube that has a big jet of water which you swim against, in essence swimming in place. They have mirrors on the bottom so you can watch yourself, and even an underwater camera allowing you to film your swim if you so choose. I had previously arranged with an experienced swimmer/coach to watch me and give me some tips. The problem is that it was extremely difficult to get the water flowing at the right speed and I also found it almost impossible to stay centered in the stream. I was always running into one end of the pool or the other, and drifting off sideways. All this made it very difficult to focus on the help she was trying to give me. So that was that. I gave it up as a lost cause after about a half hour. She did agree to come to the pool with me and give it a try there. I do believe she will be able to help me.

I also arranged today to try something else new on monday. I believe I mentioned it before. These special bike trainers, called computrainers, that allow you to cycle preprogrammed courses. Should be fun!

Oh and for Teresa, guess what...you're all grown up!

I wish to decicate day 66 to my neice and new Mom Kelly...by now she should be needing it!

And that's it for today with the exception of a few thoughts on forgetting...
