Take Two

Today was attempt number two at getting into a lake without freaking out (see yesterday). We went to Green Lake, a smaller lake closer to home, and practiced swimming again. It was definitely easier than Lake Washington but I don't know that it felt like a stepping stone towards getting back into the big lake again.

No one came with us so I don't have any photos of that...so here's a picture of Michelle running! I don't think I have mentioned before (and I hope she won't mind) that Michelle is doing all this work to help me and train with me while she is simultaneously doing her own training for her first Ironman Distance triathlon in September. I wouldn't even be dreaming of doing this without her - her help has been essential. She often does her training throughout the day (6-something-AM swim class this morning, often running on lunch, biking to work, etc.) and then rearranges her schedule to do 30-60 minutes of whatever I am doing in addition!
