So a good friend and I took a swim lesson today. We can both swim, but it ain't pretty. And you certainly wouldn't want us to rescue you if you fell overboard. I think it's kind of funny that we're crappy swimmers, considering her people are from an island and mine a peninsula. My heritage must obviously be from the inland part of the peninsula. It was a good lesson, but I have to say it's mildly humiliating spastically flailing in the pool while a good-looking college student critiques your form (or in my case, lack thereof). But I think it was good to do, and we're up for another humiliation session. H and T will also be taking lessons with Coach C this summer.
I also went for a run today. I'm up to about 2.6 miles, but there's no way I'm going to be ready for a half-marathon this fall. Two of my friends have already signed up, but it's more likely that I'll become a champion swimmer than it is that I'll run in an organized race. Anyway, now that the cicadas are flying around, I think that will seriously curtail my enthusiasm for running outside.
