FAMILY FUN

5 x 200 (100 crawl, 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke)
=======
1000 m (approx. 25 minutes)

My husband, oldest son and I biked to the swimming pool today. Since my husband had forgotten his bicycle at the train station, I biked ahead while my son and he walked to pick it up (1km). That way I could get some serious swimming in before they got in the water. The timing was perfect - I swam 975 meters before I noticed them getting into the pool.

Fun goofing around with them afterwards.

Last night and this morning I was ogling videos of Alexander Popov and Mark Spitz. Today I had the pleasure of sharing my lane with a guy who looked like a hybrid of these 2 guys, and also had a very nice smooth stroke, as well as a considerate pleasant demeanor in the lane.

Doesn't get any better than that!
