Everything has a first time

I could keep up with Peter for 1.2 km and he was passing me but… today something happened! To his surprise, he found me next to him at the other end. To my surprise, he stopped and let me pass. Unbelievable! I am just happy, it finally happened! He took the lead after but not for too long. I still remember my breakthrough with Brent 5 years ago. The young lad provoked me one day saying he would add 1 mile to any distance I’d run with him. We did run few hours that day and he ended limping because of a knee injury and I left with one certainty: I can run for a very long time at a very decent speed!
Long distance swimming and running is a different type of exercise. It relies more on your mental strength than your fitness. You can change the result if you are mentally stronger.

“Like city’s rain, my heart rains”
Filed Under Daily
from Paul Verlaine. Every time it rains, I remember this poem. My body is broken today. The hard walk and the run yesterday converge to the same result, my sufferings. I am still in love with my new toy. I need to spend some time today to learn more and try some tutorials. I need to become a professional photographer before I leave for vacation with Anne, Fabien and Olivier. In the end, the first picture I took was the backyard tree. It was not very nice because it was a bit dark. Many pictures were bad but since it is digital, I can redo :). I love digital cameras.
I will go to the city, buy a tripod and maybe a good bag for the camera and the lens.

Lens today?
Filed Under Daily
I read on the tracking website for EMS Hong Kong that the package delivery failed because they could not locate the addressee. Hopefully, they will try again today and I will be around to receive it. Yesterday evening, Nils and I, we watched a Korean movie, "Teaguki", "The Brotherhood of war" in english (Here). It was very good but a bit too long for me, two hours and 20 minutes. Damn Nils! He reminded me of my promise to watch it. I told him to look for "Enemy at the gates" (Here).
Good swim this morning. Peter could only pass me one time and half. He used to be much faster before he left two weeks for vacation. I am proud of myself. Nowadays, it is a real pleasure to swim in the fast lane and glide through water. It seems so easy to pass ordinary people. Only the team squad and professional swimmers are faster than me. Considering the fact I never had any training and just swim to relax, I am quite satisfied with the outcome.
10:40 am: The lens is in my hand, Nikkor Lens AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5~5.6G IF-ED
