Sure Happy It's Thursday

When I was in college, one of the fraternities had Sure Happy It's Thursday (S.H.I.T.) parties. And, it seems to be true, S.H.I.T. happens before T.G.I.F.

I am having the hardest time forcing myself into the pool. I'm not finding it to be relaxing any more. Perhaps because since I had my last swimming lesson, I have been working on pressing more water with my strokes, and frankly, that is not relaxing. It's downright exhausting. So, when I am in the pool, my attention span wanes somewhat quickly, and getting in at all has been a struggle between good and evil. Evil seems to be winning.

It's been a long week. I had a delicious day off on Monday for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, and have paid for it during the following days. Tomorrow is Friday (YAY!) and I WILL get in the pool and do more than 1,500 yards!

Last week I stumbled onto a website where you can order customized silicone wristbands and next to nothing. Today, I received my bands, embossed with "I shall overcome" on the front and 140.6 on the backside. I guess I need to overcome more than just 140.6 miles...I have to overcome my reluctance to get in the water!
