I've decided that I will do the one-mile shore swim instead of the 3-mile cross-river swim.  yeah, I got a little too ambitious.  I'm pretty confident that I can complete the 3-mile...just not in the time allotted.  So the one-mile it is.  That's still a lot of work.  Last weekend I went to another open water practice and completed just over 1/2 mile (5 laps).  Amazingly enough I wasn't even winded when I finished the first 1/4 mile and just barely tired after the 1/2.  So that's good news.

But then there's always some bad news.  Citibank cannot fundraise for me since they have to do one for Light the Night (also a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society).  Hopefully Jazzlyn will be able to finish her recording and use the song she's been working on for me as a bonus track *shrug*  I'm also speaking with New Roc City to host a Bowling Night fundraiser this month with Gamma Theta Alumnae Graduate Chapter (SIA).  We'll see.

As a team we've raised $15000 (really?!! HOW?!).  There's only about 8 of us. Impressive I think.

Thank you to SIA's NEB for sponsoring me.  I really do appreciate it. Every bit helps
