i was feeling really good in my swim today.  i was going strong, without rest breaks, and feeling fine.  conditions were perfect… no sun… no other swimmers… i was totally going to do a mile.  i could feel it.  when i was on my 37th length, one of our maintenance guys burst my bubble by telling me that lightning was sighted so the pool was closing.  i went ahead and swam my 38th length back to the side where my towel and robe were and got out, two short of my self-imposed minimum and thirty-two short of my goal.  such is life maybe tomorrow.
