I turned up my nose at the weight room today and went straight to the pool.

I had a fun, morale-boosting idea in mind--how long beyond 2 minutes can I tread water without my arms--and without a weight?

The answer had to be longer than two minutes, and whatever that answer was, it would make me feel good about the upcoming certification bid, even if it was a cheap goodness born of irrelevance and false hope.

Cheap goodness and false hope weighed in at 6 minutes, with a high possibility of 7 if I wanted to be uncomfortable.

...I do what I need to keep my mood up, I guess.

Between kickboarding and laps, I swam about a third of a mile, got out and did 100 calories on the elliptical trainer in the war room, came home and ate Haagen Daaz Bananas Foster (irresponsible) and went with Alex to my company's Super Secret Sell-Out Party, which was merry, but sadly, champagne-free. I had to content myself with a little Luna di Luna merlot in a juice glass bearing the likeness of Yosemite Sam.
