Week 32 - is it? I am not sure...

This week:-
Saturday 17th October when I swam 30 lengths
Monday 19th October, as the voters of Canada try to unseat the Progressive Conservatives, I swam 40 lengths.
Wednesday 21st October - 50 lengths
Thursday 22nd October - 50 lengths
Friday 23rd October - 40 lengths (well I did do 50 yesterday + a walk of maybe 4 miles)
Total for week 2.1km

Last week I promised you an updated photo of where I am.

And below is a photo of where I am as I swim across Greater Houston, starting, of course at the house.
Here is the house.

Which doesn't have a pool - in case you were wondering why I am swimming at MAC.

MAC is forecasting a closure on 28th and 29th October - darn it, though we might be up to no good somewhere else then anyway.

Latests Map - Progress to Edmonton. I recon there are about 112km to go - ish!

This lengthy (in years and km) swim is now called getting to Edmonton before I leave Houston

How wonderful life is....
How lucky I am .
I now live a short (if hot and humid) walk from a lovely pool.  Even more beautiful than north Glenmore's. Memorial Athletic Club I think it is called - MAC for short.
This location has an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool.  The outdoor one is cooled by water sprayers - never seen that before.

For now here is my recent tally of lengths since I moved to Houston a little over a week ago.  As you can see I am beginning gradually and NO that is not me in the pool, I do not and never will wear a blob on my head... my hair just won't have it.

30 lengths Monday 7 Oct
40 lengths Tuesday 8 Oct
30 lengths Saturday 10 Oct
30 lengths Sunday 11 Oct
30 lengths Tuesday 13 Oct
46 lengths Thursday 15 Oct
And with a pool of 25m again that adds up to:-
206 x 25m = 5150 m = 5.150km

Google map will be updated with next blog entry. I have got to keep my computer time  down to reasonable levels this week.

Week 31 -

I typed in gift instead of gif and got this

Photo credit and to buy these things... HERE

And doesn't the pussy cat look strange when he is holding his breath.

Day 112 (March 09, 2015): 2500m Total 172.889 km

It would take me 1and a half hours to drive from Blackfalds to West Edmonton Mall....
How many more lengths though???
