Training Day 1

Well, tomorrow is my first official day in the Total Immersion pool, but I did exercise today. In the senior community where my dad lives in the competitive game of "picke-ball." Yes, pickle-ball. It is actually my dad's baby here, since he pioneered the game's beginning in the neighborhood. PB uses about half of a tennis court, and is a combo of badmitton, table tennis, tennis, whiffleball, and a KMart blue light special. It was a grueling three games, with a total combined age of 467 yrs b/t the 4 of us. Well, that may be an exaggeration, it wasn't too grueling :-)

I visited my hometown of Haddon Heights, NJ, visiting the legendary John's Friendly Market. Nostalgia was in the air with a tavern ham, sharp cheese & lebanon bologna on an Italian roll with the works. And yes, a Philadelphia soft pretzel to go with it, and Pepsi to drink. It's not swimming, I know, but it did my heart well. But, please don't tell my cardiologist about the sandwich.
