Days 36, 37, and 38

I lied.  I did not go swimming the Wednesday before last.  I think I made up for it last week though.  On Monday my friend and I met up at the pool ocean.  She brought someone along with her.  She was running a bit late so I got in and went.  There weren't many fish there, but there was an octopus.  He made my friend and I a bit uncomfortable by trying to talk to us every time we stopped.  I swam 2,250 yards before time ran out.

On Tuesday we met up again.  This time there were a few more fish out there, and the somewhat creepy octopus was back.  We tried to ignore him.  We just sort of got in and swam.  The pool ocean was a bit cooler on this day so it was easier to keep going.  2,400 yards later and boom!  Time was up.

We met again on Wednesday.  This time there were more fish... and still that darn octopus.  At least now he's leaving us alone.  I think he may have overheard us talking about how much we disliked being bothered while we tried to swim.  The water was a bit warmer so after 2,000 yards I was ready to call it a night.

I overdid it a bit this weekend so I'm not sure if I'll be able to go tonight but I have decided if my friend contacts me I'll force myself to go.  We'll see what happens, but I make no promises for tonight.  Tomorrow I have an appointment and might not be able to make it, which is why I won't say no tonight.

On Day 36 I swam 2,250 yards + 2,400 yards on Day 37 + 2,000 yards on Day 38 = 6,650 yards on Days 36, 37, and 38.

At the end of Day 35 I had 2,765,850 yards left to swim - 6,650 yards swam on Days 36-38 = 2,759,200 yards left to swim!
