    Great Job for you this week!!!

    I am cracking up about the lycra...we have lycra X2, because the DH is training with me...and he is a big guy, 6'6", 220 lbs...so it is BIG lycra.

    And oh so many gloves and hats and socks and liners of all weights and shapes and sizes to keep track of!


    keep up the good work.

    Great job on the training and being a "single" Mom. Sounds like you are REALLY working very hard... and it will all pay off!

    Great week RM!!!! You're putting in some serious time in training! It IS hard to work and IM train. Luckily last summer I took off (I teach, and usually have to work all summer), so for June and July the training went well, it was when I was teaching (April, May, August and September) that the training slacked some because I just didn't have time.

    You'll get it done- losing weight (woo hoo), training, working and being a single mom!!! You rock!!!

    Please keep us updated- I love to live vicariously through you!!!
    And more pictures, please. I love to see that desert landscape.

    Err..Actually i thought of you while at our swim session this morning..In a good way!!! I wondered how you might do in one of our drills Dunno what it's called but you slide your arm half way up & then down & then bring your arm over I know the drill but it's hard to explain... I didn't do very well until we put finz on..

    darwin indeed!!!

    I had to chuckle that it happened in a place called "darwin". Spencer and I call non helmet wearing bike riders "future darwin award winners"

    WOW! Well, one thing we do get here on occaision is the errant rattle snake in the pool. And they can strike in the water. But I couln't imagine not noticing that before you got in!!

    Anyhoo- YIPES!!

    D-

    Oh- I did notice it said there was flooding in north australia?? All I hear on the american news is how much of a drought you are all in. Is the north hogging the rain?

    RM-yes, the northern hemisphere is hogging the rain.

    However, Light';s relatives in northern Queensland were affected by a major flood .

    If you see any rain, send it our way.

    It's called a zipper drill because you move your arm like you're doing up or undoing a zipper at the side of your torso.

    Hey CC. Did the crock stay in it's own lane? I hate it when interlopers don't follow proper lane etiquette.

    ah

    Sorry for drifting your thread RM..

    Wahine-that's the one & I can never get it right. I rely on my finz to keep me afloat. It's that or me struggle down the lane & look like a drowning dog

    Umm..I think the croc had the whole pool to itself...It was a wee one so it would only nibble a little bit..
