Swim.
Ugh...sigh. Four of us showed for the inaugural swim thang. JW is doing the cheer-leading thing for the Peaks to Portland, 2.4 mile open water swim, in July, as the motivating force.... I swam today -- right now that seems too big of a bite. The fashion of goggles and swim cap leave a lot to be desired; I'm reminded of Woody Allen playing a sperm.
I took it in hundred yard intervals, breast, crawl, and the left and right side stroke. I'm fairly confident I got a half mile in, but, I did a fair bit of standing at the ends to regulate breathing and heart rate. I kept it up for 40 minutes. I'm fairly nervous about my shoulder the crawl seems to put a lot of strain on it.
Try again on Tuesday.
Looking forward to Squats tomorrow.

The Myth of Sisyphus
In the essay, Camus introduces his philosophy of the absurd: man's futile search for meaning, unity and clarity in the face of an unintelligible world devoid of God and eternity. Does the realization of the absurd require suicide? Camus answers: "No. It requires revolt." He then outlines several approaches to the absurd life. The final chapter compares the absurdity of man's life with the situation of Sisyphus, a figure of Greek mythology who was condemned to repeat forever the same meaningless task of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to see it roll down again. The essay concludes, "The struggle itself...is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."
