    I skipped a 5KM today... woke up at 5, heard hard rain, thunder, imagined lightning, so I rolled over in my bed and went back to sleep. It was a FIN National Championships, more for "real" athletes than for Masters, although we by the rules are allowed to participate. So, if I'd gone, I might have (probably would have) been a National Champ for my age group, but more just because there aren't that many 45 year-olds going out there and doing 5KM swims next to guys who have just come back from Montreal... So, I spent the (rainy and stormy) day mostly sleeping and reading, and burning 60 copies of CD's of the Strait swim to send off the the participants, and feeling sorry for myself, because I could have been out there pounding in the waves... :( I was even mentioned in the paper on Friday as a participant. They're nice to middle-age female open-water swimmers here. Oh well... Got another 5KM coming up on September 10th... gotta make that one! Last of the season... Thanks for listening... I'm feeling sorry for myself and a bit of a wimp... Mary
