Lilly's too cool for the pool

I'll admit that I don't look nearly this hot in my tinted Speedo goggles, but Lilly was surprisingly cooperative when I coerced her into modeling for me this morning.

I had intended to post a celebratory announcement on my blog when I hit the 50-mile mark in swimming 100 miles, so my sharing that I just completed my 55th mile this morning seems somewhat anticlimactic. (I tallied my total and realized that I'd blown right through my midpoint without even realizing it.) That means I have 1,925 laps down, 1,575 to go. Wish me luck!

I'm cursing the cool and damp weather today because I'm at the beginning of a three-day weekend. Don't you worry: I'll be making the most of it with or without the help of Mother Nature.
