Flying Fish II (Page 24)

Aloha, Still packing! I need to get it done by 3pm so I can maybe get a bonus swim in otherwise I may have to do it in an outdoor pool in Park city???!!!!

Just back from the pool and I feel good.  I completed another 1700 yards today.  It's going to be down to the wire but I think I will be successful with my goal.  Only 6800 yards to go!  I am shooting for another swim tomorrow but we shall see how the day plays out.

Beautiful day on tap for us here in Southeast Texas so it was a really wonderful swim outside this afternoon.  I had the pool completely to myself for over half the swim then a few others decided to join in.   Just wonderful getting to swim outside in the winter on a sunny day!!!

Have a great afternoon everyone!!!

There's a hotel in Whistler just like that. I swam in the pool one night. It was fanastic! So warm, but getting out! Now that was a whole different story. hehe 

OMG!!!

1000 POSTS!!!

I talk WAAAAAAY too much! 

Since there was an obstacle course, that would lead to the swim wasn't done in a straight line, which means extra-added yardage to the total, RIIIIIGGGGHHHHTTTT???!!!

Go, Dee! Go, Dee-ster!  Go, go!  Here we go!

I added 2200 yards myself tonight.  Over and beyond the goal!

Dang, I love the swim more than last month!  But, I will need to start back in the running aspect to get ready for a 1/2 Mary in April.  I know I won't drop the swim, but will keep it somewhere between 10 and 15 thousand for the month for the next 3 months.

Thanks for getting these challenges going - I for one can attest that this DRASTICALLY helped me!

C'mon, Fellow Flying Fish Friends!!!!  Not too much longer!

Since I can't hear you, I fixed that for you.

We know you can do it!

Pretty!

No, my dear - my PB was 4400 yards - IM MOO, BABY!!!!

Let's see, I was totally under-trained and I swam only a couple or so 3000 yards training sessions before that race.  It was the absolute worse, yet best, experience I ever did!  You can read my RR sometime.  If you like, I can locate the link and send it to you.

Feb. Challenge doesn't look like a go for me due to Youth Club basketball hitting hard next month.  March will be a better time.  I won't slack, but I will be in an early "taper" of sorts.

Oh come on Phil... If I can do the Dec and Jan challenge when I have over 3,500 kids in a  basketball league, you can do a few measley miles or yards in Feb.

You must find sanity somewhere, find it here!!!

Nice taunt but it's not just my sanity but wifey's.  She's already stressing out with a job merge and me accommodating the time she needs.  Wifey is a supervisor of a loan dept. of a credit union, doesn't know her role yet in this merger, and her supervisor has been moved to a different area and heading up that.  I need to be more flexible this coming month.  Sorry.

OUCH!!!  Imagine that just working for a credit unionin this economy right now would be stressful.

Oh, yeah - when the rates dropped down back in the middle of the week, it was quite hectic.

Since we are "customers" of the credit union, we locked in at 4.75% for an in-house 10 year mortgage.  We have a 15 year mortgage already and have about 5 years paid off, along with a second (lower) mortgage when we finished the basement off last summer.  We are combining both mortgages together now for a slightly lower payment than what we were paying for the 15 year alone!

OMG 4400 Meters!!!!!  JEEZ LOUISE!! That is flippin fantastic! 

I've been up and down all night wanting to be sick but nothing's came about.  Is there really no end to my affliction?  Makes me want to cry.  I was out with friends last night watching a great cover band. I was also at Ikea eatin meatballs then I had sausages at night. Too much meat and beer perhaps?  Blargh.

How was everyone weekend?
