Swim Challenge - Midwest (Page 6)

Ohhhh.....poor Floridians are chilly?  How sad for them.  We got 5" of snow last night.  I just got back from shoveling 26 walk-ways and sidewalks.  (my friend owns a landscape business and he needed help).  I'm now on the way to the pool for my first 3500 yards for December.

You think the rest of the fair-weather teams could shovel snow for two hours then go swimming.  Not likely.

Go Blizzards!

Blah blah blah snow snow snow.... Can't you just use your hair blowdryers on the snow to clear your little sidewalks?

I am 1/10 of the way with 2000 meters this morning... feeling frosty yet...  hehe

GREAT Job Andy!  Keep it up!

I just got back from the pool and got my 3520 yards in.  Feeling good.  You know....this challenge thing is great.  It kept me motivated even though I was a bit tight from shovelling snow all day.  I feel great now.  Gonna blow my goal out of the water....no pun intended.

CAUTION: MIDWEST WORK ETHIC AT WORK!

5:30 AM - Shoveled driveway and walks.

7:30 AM - Began 9 hours of meetings, phone calls, etc. 

5:30 PM - Swam 2,400.

6:30 PM - drink beer and/or wine to rehydrate and get ready for tomorrow.

Some of us smarter Midwesterners were able to figure out that if we relocated our Midwestern Work Ethic to Florida we wouldn't have to waste two hours a day shoveling snow and have more time to work out year 'round.  Outside. In the fresh air and sunshine.

Give up now you Blizzard folk.  You're going down.

FLORIDA FORCE RULES....

Ah, but the MWE, like everything else, needs to be constantly trained or it'll be lost.  Those  hot and humid days down there without any shovelling or ice scraping can't be good for the old MWE.

Way to go Gerb! 

You're kidding us right? 

Now go wake Renee up from her afternoon nap and go get in the pool.  We want to beat you, but not too badly.

She's so cute when she's feisty, isn't she? I like her spirit though. Too bad she's not on a real team.
