I don't care if I finish the marathon dead last - I just want to FINISH! For

the most part, I *do* cycle alone. When I get motivated to ride, the best time

is in the morning before I go to work. It's hard to find riding partners at

5am...<g> There's a local group that rides on Wednesday and Friday evenings,

but I haven't joined them yet.

Aw, shucks... :-)

That would be awesome! I can't do that though, since I can't swim. Of course,

maybe by 2013 I can *learn*?

I didn't learn to swim until I was 22 ... I refused to go to a swimming class

with a bunch of 5 year olds ... and our local rec center had a " super chicken "

class and you had to be 18 or older to go ... it was good!!  It's another one

of those confidence builders (water still scares me a bit but I know I can dog

paddle & float now with the best of 'em!) and would be something good to cross

off the " can't " list!

Go Eldred!!

I have not seen an 'adult' class at our local rec center in a very

long time. I'm 48(and overweight), so I already feel self-conscious

in swim trunks. It would be very difficult for me to feel comfortable

in a swim class. But if I can somehow get in better shape, I might

think about it more.

If you wear a swimcap and goggles.. no one will know who you are! It's

like a swimming superhero costume.

But I get it. I feel the same way.
