New phone

I picked up a replacement cell phone today. The vendor very nicely copied my photographs from the nonworking phone to the new phone. So I should have some photos for the blog soon: I’m still arranging them.

After getting the phone we went to 1200 Sheppard Avenue East to pick up our entry stickers for the Ride for Heart bike-a-thon on Sunday. It had quite an impressive lobby. Here we are looking down from the fifth floor interior balcony. That greyish blob in the goldfish pond is a sculpture as tall as I am.

  • warm-up: (75 yd. breast stroke + 75 yd. freestyle) x 2 = 300
  • 25 yd. “kicking 101″ x 4 = 100
  • 50 yd. extended underwater dogpaddle x 2 = 100
  • 50 yd. (6 strokes extended underwater dogpaddle, 6 strokes freestyle) x 2 = 100
  • 50 yd. (3 strokes extended underwater dogpaddle, 3 strokes freestyle) x 2 = 100
  • cool-down: 50 yd. freestyle x 2 = 100

Total: 800 yd.
Concentrate on: breast stroke position, kicking from hips with snap at end, extending body, extending reach, breathing at the right moment, keeping hand extended while breathing, rolling body during freestyle.
