Funny how sometimes swims just pop up. Got an email from the guys at WaveOne Swimming. In the email they mention the Endless Summer Swim, a 5K swim about 2.5 hours south of me. THIS WEEKEND! What?! Holy crap.

I’m thinking of entering. They give you something like 3 hours to finish it. Might be just what I need to get out of my funk. I’ve been skipping practice and not swimming, biking instead (no, I’m not becoming a triathlete…as long as triathlons have runs in them I’m out). I just haven’t been into it. But perhaps a nice slow swim in a lake will do the trick?

There is a 500m swim for the under-12’s. I’m trying to talk my lazy, ennui-laden 10-year old (who, btw, just did a 5000 yard workout yesterday, her longest yet in the year she’s been swimming!) into coming down there with daddy to do the swim. I may force her to do it.

So, dear reader(s), yours truly may be back in the saddle again soon. Maybe…
