I think I'm swimming in my sleep now. The little sleep I'm getting, that is. Last night's training swim took me an hour and 20 minutes to complete.

We roll merrily along as usual. Micah's birthday party has morphed - I got him to narrow his list to about 11 other kids, and I found a decently affordable magician, so we are having it at home. If he really really wants a pinata, it'll be out in the driveway, hanging from the bedroom window. No more dents in my walls, please.

OK, this may not seem like a lot of fun but for a certain type of swimmer the idea of watching the old movie Jaws followed by a midnight swim does have a certain appeal.
If you think this idea sounds crazy and you' d never try something so daft, you might just enjoy watching others as they combine their weekly masters swim workout with a movie
