We are about t-minus 10 days till our swim from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco. I’m still a little nervous. It’s very different swimming in a pool vs. shark infested waters with waves! My only goal is to actually finish it.

Had a great training swim last night. Summer was more self-motivated than I’ve seen her and I think it’s because she ran her first 5K for an NCC missions fundraiser last weekend. I think she tasted it. What I mean by that is this: sometimes you need to experience the adrenaline rush of accomplishing a physical feat to really learn to love it. You love it because you tasted it. I think that happened to Summer last weekend. May even prove to be a defining moment. She told me she wants to run the Princess Half-Marathon at Disney. Of course, that may have to do with the fact that she’s tasted Disney too!
