Earlier in the summer I had
turned a wishy-washy desire to swim butterfly into a specific and measurable goal. So, well, I missed that goal in so very many respects! :( I spent many an humorous hour in the pool trying exactly what the books warned against: trying to muscle and power my way through the butterfly. My effort and enthusiasm lasted about a month, then I just seemed to have let it fall behind me. Maybe I'll keep the goal, reset the date on it, and get back to that over the winter :)
