Yippee!
Tired of feeling fat and out of shape, I’ve been making a concerted effort at getting to the gym on a regular basis. I started swimming a few weeks ago—at the gym, a full hour workout w/ QUAC would kill me right now—and today I was able to finish a length of butterfly w/o feeling like I was dying. OK, so it’s a long way to go until I’m back to doing a 50m fly in just under 32 seconds, but it’s progress and a milestone I feel pretty good about. Yea, me!
No, that’s not me, but I did take the picture. It’s a good friend kicking ass at the IGLA championships in Ft. Lauderdale a few years ago. He took home several medals. I don’t remember if one of them was for fly or not. As a matter of fact, a sizable contingent of QUACers is in D.C. right now at this year’s IGLA championships. Really wish I was there, but between the whole chubby-out-of-shape thing and the too-damn-much-on-the-credit-card-as-it-is thing, I stayed home this year.
