Swimmin' n things
 
I just swam over two miles non-stop. I am mighty proud. I just didn't seem to want to stop. It felt wondeful. My hands and feet are all pruny now.

I'm keeping a log this season 'cause I'm a nerd like that. That takes me up to nearly 7 miles so far (pool opened 28th May and I was away for 4 days). And I biked this morning. This week I've biked or walked every morning and swum every afternoon. And mowed the lawn once. I came back from Chicago 4lb lighter than when I went and haven't gained one back (I normally fluctuate like crazy, so the 4lb disappearing is not unusual, but it not coming back is). And the heat is keeping my appetite down. So here's hoping I really actually am going to keep it up and get just a little skinnier. Go me :D

(:beer:)

I'm a swimmer from back in the day. I love swimming. I applaud your determination. Go you!

thanks. It was weird. never felt an urge to keep on swimming like that. Coulda kept on, but I got a little bored plus the slightly weird guard was admiring my stamina.........

Is that what you kids are calling it these days?

I am the envy.

I love to swim. I love water. I could live in the water. But even though I took all those lessons as a kid I can't do the strokes right and so instead of doing laps I end up doing mermaids (diving and surfacing and flipping around backwards.)

Would be awesome to incorporate real swimming into an exercise regime.

Keep it up!

Wholly, entirely Mackerel Monster! Two miles! That's like a hundred miles in dog bicycling miles. Color me impressed.

If you weren't a married woman I'd be totally ogling your stamina. Instead I'll just take a furtive peek at it.

She wants to be ogled for her mind. You know, mind-ogling.

If I weren't so tired and preoccupied, I'd write an awesome parody of that. You will need to imagine it in all its awesomeness or DIY.
