My 1st 25 FLY

Today I finished my first length of butterfly at the Princeton Club! Then I took my fins off and finished 4 more lengths (no fins) with drills in between.
It's important to me to practice/do everything my Mini Sharks do, so I've been working on it on my own for a long time. At Shark practice & meets Coach Stu gets kids to:

1. try it
2. finish it
3. improve it.

Currently my fly isn't fast and it's not technically that great ---But I think it's a really powerful place to be.

Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon 2012

5:27.01  Oct 7th

Ken gave up his birthday weekend so I could run the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon. It'd been a long time since I'd run a marathon and I wanted to experience it again.

I like trying new venues and Milwaukee was a great choice. I like smaller events and do best training for a fall event vs. spring or summer. I also liked the downward elevation in the last 2 miles of the course. And the medal was AWESOME!!
