My First Swim

Tonight is my first swim practice with the team. I'm extremely nervous! Not because I'm afraid that I might look like an idiot because that's pretty much a give in. I think it's more because I've never met any of these people before and now I have to just jump right in and I know I'll need plenty of instruction. I'm just afraid I'll be holding everyone else back I guess. Plus, I might just die. No really, I'm afraid I might puke. I swam for about 20 minutes on Saturday night and I seriously almost puked.

*sigh*

Pray that it all goes well. I'm pretty discouraged already because 3/4 mile is a LONG way and well, I might just give up and sink like a rock... or float like a dead fish.

In other news, fundraising is going at a pretty slow pace. I feel bad because this Saturday we have a team breakfast and if everyone has met their $200 mark, we get some kind of mimosa breakfast. Well Ashley over here just joined the team so of course, she has a whopping $0 raised so far. LOL. So it looks like we wont be getting our breakfast thanks to me =) What a great first impression (it'll be my first Saturday practice where I'll meet the rest of the team). Hopefully there's no names mentioned of who the dead weight is that's holding down the rest of the team. In the meantime, I need to get to fundraising!!! I still have plenty of letters and emails to send out and I need to think of some pretty crafty things I can make to sell and raise money for the race. If you have any ideas, feel free to give some input =)
