While I know I will NEVER be like that creature, it's hard not to compare sometimes.  

And thanks for the 68 day reminder.
AAAaaarrrggghhh!!!!!!!

Hmmm....update.  Yes, well this is the latest (just as much for you as everyone else since we don't see each other very often and phone conversations are about the dog and cat and snow):     ;)

The the last 4 days in vegas have caused a backslide that I hope to bounce back from quickly.
The last month of no running, walking, cycling per doc's orders are making me anxious.

Swimming:  Not graceful nor fast but I know I'll make the mile.
Not a pessimist.  Just a realistic view on a Tuesday morning.

Doc. appointment late next week.  Can hopefully bump up training again.

Fund raising:  half way there!
Starting a letter writing campaign this week to people I've done business with (doc, car dealer, vet, hair cutter lady...)

Scourge of the laden chafing dish?

Bane of the Open Bar?




This is an insult to the Pez community

Recovering from Vegas and the return to animal pukes.

Swam 6,300 feet yesterday and 6,889 feet 9-11â,,64 inches today. 

Not pretty, smooth or technical.  (Think Seinfeld's Elaine Benes' dance moves.)

But I did "get 'er done".     ;D
