I'm hoping to register for the Governor's Island Swim. I think it's about 2 miles & then the Liberty Island Swim next year. Gonna have to put a lot of time in in the pool. Enjoy!

NYC Swim
Check this out. http://www.nycswim.org/ Swimming around the Statue of Liberty? Swim around Manhattan. OK, so I'm not Kramer, but I think this is a pretty cool group & they have some awesome races. I volunteered last night helping out for the Liberty Island Swim today. I hope they got the swim in, we had some bad thunderstorms tonight.

Taking a Break
Home from San Francisco for two weeks now & I have been taking a bit of a break. I did want to start swimming more this week, especially since the outdoor pool at the gym is open now.

Monday night I was psyched to hear that the pool was open later in the evenings, so I headed over there for a swim. Bad move. I left my stupid earplug at home & now, 3 days later & a trip to the ENT, I have a terrible clogged ear. So annoying!
I've decided to take the rest the month off (just one measly week) & rest a bit & start training for the Jersey Shore Half Marathon at Sandy Hook this October. Wait, that's a pretty lousy birthday gift to myself, training for a Half Marathon! Duh!
Here's the link to the run course http://jerseyshorehalfmarathon.com/images/JSHM%20Course.pdf
I've got my running plan all ready to go & I think three months will be (hopefully) enough training time for me. We shall see. After my super shitty run at the George Sheehan 5 Miler this weekend (still under an hour, but dammit I want to break 50 minutes!) I hope that I will make it.
In other news I don't have too many races planned this summer. A few of my friends did sign up for the Belmar 5 in three weeks. Please don't let it be as hot as it was in Red Bank last weekend. Sheesh, cut a girl a break already!
Tonight I am off to volunteer for the Liberty Island Swim Race. A race that I am totally signing up for next year. You get to swim around the Statue of Liberty, yeah I know insert your own "Kramer swimming in the East River joke" here. But come on? How many people can say they've swum around Lady Liberty? Not too many! http://www.nycswim.org/Event/Event.aspx?Event_ID=2104#
