Swimming like a....fish outta water?

Swim practice on Tuesday was not something I was looking forward to. I have never been much of a swimmer. The fear of drowning and swimsuits kept me on land. Regardless, I showed up at the pool swim cap and goggles in hand ready for humiliation.

Much to my surprise, I wasn't half bad (thank you swim lessons at age 6). I have a good kick, my stroke needs some tweaking and I need to learn how to breathe in the water but all in all not bad (other than the breathing part).

Wohoo! I think if I work hard enough I can beat Mike's time in the swim :)

"Tri-ing" for a cure

Mike and I are signed up for a triathlon! I am doing it through TNT while MIke is just trianing on his own. Along with intense training I am also raising $3400!!! A lot of money but it all goes to a great cause-saving lives. If you can spare any change and help me out please go to my fundraising web site http://pages.teamintraining.org/sac/pactri09/mbrosywiwchar and donate!

The tri is Sept. 12 in PAc Grove. A beautiful location. We are starting to train hard and excercise and some competition are good for a marriage, right?

Mike already thinks he will beat my time soundly but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve and he may just be surprised. Check back to hear about our progress!!!!
