Man, this week I did two hour long sessions of deep water running. at first I thought I would look like a dumba$$ out there...but after 20 minutes I knew I was getting an awesome workout!
These two simulated runs have been butt kickers! Sure, you make as most out of it as you want...
It sure did make me appreciate water aerobics (or at least those who are really working it!)
*Shaky--don't you dare say that I've gone to the dark side.

Not yet. The applications are in, and I'm in a holding pattern waiting to be invited for interviews. I won't know something for certain until late February or March. I'll start either this summer or next fall, depending on the school.
I'm hoping to get into Pennsylvania's business school (Wharton), and I think I have a reasonable chance of acceptance. My scores and grades are at the very top of their middle 80% (well above their average). Everything rests on my essays, work experience, and whether the admissions committee thinks that it makes any sense for a teevee cameraman to pursue an MBA, trading boots and flannels for a pair of Cole Haans and a suit.
Not only does Wharton have one of the top MBA programs in the world, there's also a 50m indoor pool at the student gym across the street from the business school, and a 25y pool across campus somewhere. When I visited the 50m pool, a bulkhead divided it into two 25y pools, and there were lanes enough for everyone. I can't remember the actual cost of it, but I remember thinking that it was a lot cheaper than my crappy Y experience. It didn't smell like fried chicken, either.
Unfortunately, however, I don't drink beer. That's a shame, because Wharton holds a weekly MBA tavern for its students where they pay $90 at the beginning of the semester, then get all the beer and pizza they can handle each week for the rest of the school term. At least I like pizza. I'll just have to eat a few more slices to get my money's worth, then work it off at the pool.:D
