What? You thought I'd be here blathering on and on (and on...) about some ol' swim meet I was in this weekend? You thought I'd be recalling my times and races swum? Maybe showing pictures and medals...and what?...perhaps even video footage of me swimming???
Well, how wrong you were my friends, how wrong you were!
Actually...my computer has been going to work with SP since he dropped his and it's in for repair (thank goodness, dropping an macbook pro is only resulting in a $175 bill!) and since I am in a total recoup day today, and had choir tonight, there's no way I'm downloading photos and compiling all the thrilling details of the weekend.
So, I guess that's the exciting cliffhanger till the recap appears...
Oh, maybe I'll leave you with this. Yours truly is currently the 2nd place title holder of the women's 100 yard backstroke for women ages 40-45 in the state of Michigan! My arch nemesis, Jennifer Pope from the Grand Rapids area, holds the coveted 1st place position (and YES, there were more than two people swimming in that age group...six to be precise!). BTW, I heard someone call a woman "Jennifer" so I decided to go up to her and say, "Jennifer Pope?" and guess what, it was her (she?)!! So, I proceeded to tell her (bore her?) my engaging story of how three years ago I swam a meet with her and she and I were so close with our times. Some races she won, some I won. Then, over the next two years, I noticed she was blowing me away with her times and I figured she was certainly doing some good, hard workouts. Low and behold, she confirmed my hypothesis (oy!) and shared with me that she'd also lost 80 pounds in the process. So cool for her...but now, I need to get my but in gear because I need to be holding pace with her for sure!!
