The Glorious Second Mile

Last year I wrote about getting beyond the second mile. I forgot the wonder of actually doing the second mile.

This year I've been struggling to get beyond a single mile. Life has been a pattern of busy, sick, busy, sick, busy - you can see the cycle of destruction.  And then there's been the English 21st century weather. Swimming in the rain is not a problem, swimming in the open in thunderstorms is not so sensible. And thunder and lightning has been predicted almost every day of the "summer." When I have been in the water, it's been time squeezed into other things.

Last night changed all that.

Beyond the second mile - a water problem

About a year ago I promised to write about going beyond the second mile. According to my records I first achieved this on June 6th 2014, reaching 4k in a not very fast time of 1 hour and 50 minutes.

I started writing something last year and never completed it. So I forgot the lessons I meant to learn.
