Kicking Off The Winter Swim Season
So yes, Sherwood winter swimming has begun and is official! We have two practices a week, one on Tuesday mornings at 5:00 and the other Friday afternoons. Coming up in about a week is the first meet. I'm looking forward to that and hoping that I will be swimming either a 50 back in a medley relay, or 100 free. Swim is off to a great start and I'm hoping to have a fun season!

XC Counties
On Saturday was my last meet for the 2011 Cross Country season. I thought the meet was great. The course seemed faster than normal along with a lot of training over the season. My time was 22:39 which was 2 1/2 mins less than my previous record! From my first race with a time of 27:33 to this race of 22:39, I am really happy to have improved so much. I can't wait for next year and Outdoor Track in the Spring!

iPhone (4S) Announcement 10/4/11
It's official! .... And this is big news! It looks like finally the delayed iPhone 5 will be announced 10/4/11! Today apple sent out press invitations for next Tuesdays iPhone unveiling. The invitation (below) shows iPhone apps. It is rumored that these will be updated the most, also note the '1' by the phone, this probably means only one iPhone will be released. (Over the weeks it was in suspicion that they might release a low budget iPhone 4S with slightly upgrade and a full redesign high end iPhone 5 model.) Apple in the past on it's invites have hidden clues to what will be said which is what all the hype is about that!
