"Water-Logged"

I spent over 2 hours in the pool today!

But before you start thinking I have a new resolve to work harder at my swimming, I have to tell you that the first 30 minutes were spent doing drills, and the next hour and a half playing with Colby. The second part was more fun, and perhaps even more beneficial to my training. I think we'll do it again.

Funny the things that go through your mind. While Colb and I were messing around, I tried to remember a similar time with one of my own childern and none came to mind....hmmmm?

A had a decent jog around the block today as well, and believe it or not my quads are still a bit sore from my Puebla experience. It is a good kind of sore now though. Tomorrow I will take my wetsuit to the pool. I'm a little nervous about it. I hope it swims like 5 hundred bucks!!!

So...things I'm grateful for today.

I wish to dedicate day 129 to the memory of George Carlin, because no one ever made me laugh more, and he continues to do so

"Well, me don't swim too tough so me don't go in the water too deep."---Bob Marley

"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."---George Carlin

I wouldn't worry too much about the wetsuit. $500.00 doesn't swim very well either....
