		<title>I&#8217;m Swimming!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hiatus has been too long. And my body knew it. No matter I&#8217;ve been working out 6 days a week. No matter that I completed the 100 pushup challenge, the 200 squat challenge, and have finished 4 weeks of couch to 5k training. When I hit the water, my body let me know it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adult Happy Meal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been dreaming about swimming again, so I will probably have another back to the pool post very soon. Until then, here&#8217;s a cross post about dieting from my personal blog. The children earn a lunch out when they get 100% in all their subjects all week. My 11 and 9 year olds earned a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Rest of the Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cullen is tweeting again. First he said he was headed to Italy. Then he said he didn&#8217;t know what he was swimming, except for 100 IM. I was on pins and needles to find out how he did. I found out that Jones and other American swimmers participated in an International Swim Meeting in Bolzano, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inspiring Triathlon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a deleted scene from a very moving episode of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. The young lady in the clip, LaRhonda, had recently lost 160 pounds, but she still weighed 270 + pounds at the time of the race. Inspiring!]]></description>

		<title>Preparing for my Future Life on the Lake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I once told my husband if we got a pool, I&#8217;d never get dressed in the summer. He told me I had a pool in my future. I should have said I need to have a lake house. One of my daughters just had a slumber party at her friend&#8217;s house, which just happens to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Swimming is Great for Weight Loss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen the morbidly obese in water aerobics classes; my mother was among that group, as a matter of fact. But I&#8217;ve suspected that swimming would actually be more effective for weight loss. I got some support for my belief watching A&#038;E&#8217;s show, Heavy. I know I&#8217;ve shared my mother&#8217;s story here and at my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Surviving the Cut: Ranger School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son said that he didn&#8217;t think the Rangers had a water training segment to deal with. He wasn&#8217;t exactly correct, but the Ranger water training doesn&#8217;t involve swimming long distances, just braving cold, dirty water in full gear. By far, the hardest struggle is psychological. After going through the grueling obstacle course, the rangers [...]]]></description>

The men pass the rifle from man to man while still treading water.
