Last Saturday, I decided to do a “dry run” for my Swim for Diabetes swim. My goal was 2.5 miles – further than I’ve gone before. I was feeling pretty good and was able to push myself – and got through three miles. That’s 108 laps in 2 hours and 5 minutes. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I was very tired afterwards and almost took a nap that afternoon – but I’m no good at naps and it wouldn’t have worked anyway. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, I should have no trouble doing 2.5 miles this Saturday for the official swim – but I’d still like to bump it up to 3 if I can. One thing’s for sure though, I need to eat a bigger bowl of cheerios – the ones I had last Saturday gave out at 1.75 miles. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In other news… I got a text message this morning from a co-worker as I was driving into work. It simply said “hurry up!” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I got into work, parked in my regular spot and went on into the building. My co-worker wasn’t there yet – so, I texted him back with “I’m here at work, where are you?”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He showed up a couple minutes later – astonished to see me. Apparently, he had texted me from his car – he had seen me pull onto the highway and blown right past me. And then driven much faster coming into work. Somehow, I had managed to get onto campus, parked, and into the building before he did the same. We don’t park in the same area and I suspect the longer walk he has to the building is the factor – though I told him I’m the master of space and time and he that he shouldn’t be surprised.<\/div>\n
