UGH!!! I HATE RUNNING! Well...hate is a strong word. I dislike running longer than about 8 miles. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, swimming - IT FEELS SO GOOD! IT'S SO REFRESHING! EVERY PART OF YOU MOVES AND GLIDES THROUGH THE NICE COOL WATER! AAAAAHHHHHH...<BR/><BR/>Did that help? ;)<BR/><BR/>CUTE CUTE CUTE 4th picture. You guys are like...the most gorgeous family I have ever seen.

You wa...They don't call me Dolphin Boy for nothing! You want some H2O love? I got it.....don't drink the water!haha!<BR/>Think of Dolphin boy while you "wing it" during the swim course! Just relax & have fun! I will use my echolocation to guide you through the murky waters! Picture in your mind the scene from Ace Ventura Pet Detective, the dolphins name was "Snowflake" and someone drained his/her tank and poor Snowflake was missing! Then picture Jim Carey (Ace) in a shark tank getting a ride of his life from the shark but he thinks it's Snowflake!! Too funny....so when you swim the course, Dolphin boy and Snowflake will help you along!! No worries!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck....now in the meantime go rent Ace Ventura, it's a classic!<BR/><BR/>Dolphin BoyDolphin Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016093752669755391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-77164120419224649822008-07-10T17:21:00.000-07:002008-07-10T17:21:00.000-07:00SWIM LOVE...Oh, MEL...why didn't you call me?

Then, in the pool today I was thinking, "this cold water feels SOOO good since it is soo hot out!" - see...always positive reinforcement. I wish I could swim everyday! Seriously. I am a loser and perhaps I should find another passion, but I LOVE TO SWIM and I can pass some of my enthusiasm to you. A fun workout always helps too - something where you don't have to use your brain!! :)) Jen H.Jerome Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461293364942091197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080147652738557163.post-57574302857285713582008-07-10T13:31:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:31:00.000-07:00Hi Mel!

The o...Funny you should ask about more swim love... The only way I've made it to the pool the last few months is breakfast club (my blog topic today) with good friends and good coffee right afterwards. If you can find a group to go with, I'd HIGHLY recommend starting something to reward yourself after that swim and getting up so dang early!!! If it works for me, it can work for ANYBODY!
