As I expected, I'm just loving swim training week.

Swimming is the one workout I'm always sad to see end. When I finish a long swim I'm always so bummed to have to get out of the pool. Unlike running, where I'm always, always happy to wrap up a run.

As an added bonus, today while I was swimming the Senior Citizens Synchronized Swimming team was practicing.  You haven't lived until you've seen a bunch of ladies in flowered swim caps do the oyster flip.  All kidding aside, that's the type of senior citizen I want to be - healthy and still learning new stuff.  And I want to be doing jazzhands!

Once I finish the ultramarathon, I'm going to find some endurance swims to do - that Alcatraz swim or something like that.  It seems like a waste to love swimming so much and not do it all the time.
