The Straits

So.  Life is becoming more interesting now.  I was contacted by a company who sells the same sports drink that Diana Nyad drank during her swim from Cuba to Florida.  She would like me to "endorse" it for my swim. Okaaay.  A weight trainer and sports nutritionist also called me, and offered to help me free of charge. I guess that means there's no backing out NOW! As far as the Coast Guard is concerned, I just need to get them a map of my route...which is going to be kind of hard, because I'll be following the current.  One of my kayakers said he has marine maps of the area...He's in Florida now, I think.  But. Obviously, I've got plenty of time.   Now there will be no more excuses. I've gotta be in that water every day!  No more excuses!                                                                           Didn't have a chance to get in the water at ALL today, as I had to take Bree in to the Vet for her Lyme shot. I stopped off to visit some old horse friends.  They have a horse who needs to be ridden...Iriquois...He's a trotter.  I love that horse.  Very sweet natured and kind.  Still having head and neck pain, which I am just going to have to ignore.  The docs want to give me an injection for the pain...corticosteroids..but I don't think I'm going to let them do that.  The last time I had one of those shots, I felt jittery for weeks. Awful feeling.
Tomorrow. 2PM. Lane 3 is where I'll be.
