I Apologize....

If I de-friended you on FaceBook and you actually noticed, please understand that it wasn't personal. I was mostly under the influence of alcohol and one of my sisters. There was really nothing I could do about it. It was The Great Friend Culling of 2009. Also, I

Swimming: Day 7

Swam a mile in 49:42 which is a 0:38 improvement over yesterday. I was on the verge of taking the day off; one of my wrists wasn't too happy after doing weights yesterday; and I definitely didn't do weights today. Hopefully it'll

Swimming: Day 6

Swam 32 x 50 meter laps (1600 meters). If you'll forgive me a little bit of rounding, *that's a mile*! While pleased to have swam this distance, it took a humbling 50:20 (1.19 mph!) to accomplish. So, with a mile finally having been achieved,

Swimming: Day 5

Swam 20 x 50 meter laps (1000 meters) in thirty-seven minutes. I felt pretty good when I stopped; definitely could have kept going. To reach my goal I need to swim an additional 12 laps (600 meters) and I need to do it seven minutes faster than I swam the

Swimming: Day 4

When my usual gym time (11:30pm) came around, I was asleep on my couch due to having a fair bit of wine with dinner. But, my sense of vanity (and ego?) woke me up at 03:00 and I scooted on over to the gym. With relative easy I

Swimming: Day 3

Swam 11 x 50 meter laps (550 meters). By the end of the 11th lap my side was hurting more than I cared to endure. It's always my right side. I wonder if I'm using my right arm more than my left or something. I'

Swimming: Days 1 and 2

Yesterday I started my membership at a place with a 24/7 indoor lap pool. Heaven on earth. I managed to struggle through 5 x 50 meter laps (250 meters) yesterday, taking frequent breaks. This evening I did 8 x 50 meter laps (400 meters) with much less effort, but

Ain't that always the way....

I seem to run into church problems wherever I go. I got a call from my pastor this afternoon. Someone had supposedly wreaked some havoc on the church network over the weekend. The church's rent-an-admin declared that the network was accessed, "using the pastor's [unrelated]

Starting Over

I'm all signed up at the Lifetime Fitness place ... the place that's open 24/7 with the pools and everything else. Membership wasn't too bad: $59.95/month. They waived some $199 initiation fee, but they had another $85 admin fee - whatever that&

The Most Amazing Thing Ever

I found the most amazing thing ever. A gym. But not just any gym. Short of being located directly across the street, it couldn't possibly be any better than it already is. - It has all of the normal gym stuff one expects - It has multiple indoor
