Have not been swimming in the sea again since I was out with Fran last week, but have put a few miles in the pool. Feeling quite comfortable at swimming 4K in the pool and happy I could do the same in open water.
Looking forward to a few more miles at sea when I get back up to Arisaig next week. Contacted a few people on the SWIM facebook site to see if they wanted to team up with me for open-water swimming, but none replied. Either I'm pretty rubbish or they feel intimidated (aye right !). Got a call from the Oban Times, they are doing an article on me, so must buy the paper next week - hope they use the nice picture I sent and not the one where I look like I've had a frontal lobotomy.
Feeling much fitter for swimming. The 'mums arms' are getting better and I have almost reached £4K in fundraising. I am really pleased and so happy with the support I have had, even been sponsored by people I don't know (thanks Irene for the free advertising!!!). Trying to push every-one who has pleged to get on line and sponsor me !
Tomorrow they pick people to be 'assessed' for the BIG SWIM. This is due to happen at the end of July. I would like to be in the team but not hearbroken if I am not. Now that I know Ronan Keating is a singer and he is not in Take-That I am not sure I should meet him in-case I put my foot in it - I'm such a big Take That fan as well ... am I?
The other Celebs who are doing the swim ... I have heard of Richard Branston (he made pickle, didn't he?) and as for - Jason Bradbury and Jenny Frost, never heard of them, guess they must be known for something? Answers on a postcard please. If they are not on Radio 4 then I'm at a loss, now if it was James Naughtie and Mark Lawson I would be fine - but think they are both fatties, but hey they would be in good company. Long live the chubby swimmers xx Anne
