And in case you forget this fact something will always come along to remind you. Claudette and I were scrambling tonite to find a VCR that worked, and in doing so came across a bunch of old videotapes. I can tell you that there's something a little unsettling about watching video of your children when they were at the age your grandchildren currently are. On the positive side I sure looked young and vital!! My wife of course looked great as well, but in her case nothings changed.
We were looking for a VCR so I could tape the CTV segment over at my buddies place. Unfortunately that didn't work out as Burt and I didnt seem to have the technological expertise to figure it out. Oh well, at least I seen it and though it was brief it was kinda cool. Hopefully they will post it on the website tomorrow and I'll let you know if they do.
As to training today I intended to swim first and then do an easy run, but on the way to the pool I decided I would swim only. My rationale was that as I have been so unmotivated in the pool lately I needed to make it a priority without the worry of having to run afterwards. Generally it worked as I mangaged to get 2000 metres in after a short warmup. I was also happy with my time as I continue to make small gains. I did the distance in just under 48 minutes which is 1 min, 12 secs per lap. I may have already mentioned that my goal is to get down to 1 minute per lap.
I think this is one change I need to make consistently in my future training. I have always tried to throw the swim in as a second workout of the day and it seems that I'm always out of gas that way. I will try at least a couple of times per week to reverse this. It worked today as much to my surprise I still felt like a little run tonite and so went for a jog around the psych at about 8pm.
Tomorrow I'm back to the computrainer instead of running as I want to change the cycle (no pun intended) so that I can do my long run on friday and then bike again on saturday. Also tomorrow I'm going to visit my big sister Cory to get some life advice. I'm really looking forward to it.
Thats it!
I wish to dedicate day 76 to Sharon Long who let me into her house tonite just to use her television, but more importantly because she is just a kind, genuine person.

I am also looking forward to your visit, but if its life advice you're seeking, you should probably approach someone who has figured some of it out. I am no shining example of that, and what I do know, I may have made up. The lines get blurry.
The truth is Cory, that you can make up stuff better than most of us can learn.
Peter, I will grab your VCR later this week and see if I can copy from PVR over to video. I may need Old John's technical expertise, but I'm sure it can be done.
