I need your help!

Hi Friends!

First, a little progress update. My goal at practice last night was to get another timed mile in to see how I'm progressing. Last month my mile (1,650 yards) time was 24.30. Last night my mile time was 22:30. This is at about a 70% exertion rate. Yes! Progress! Here is the general thinking about how pool mile times relate to the SAKW:

- If you can swim a pool mile in 20 minutes, you can probably finish the SAKW in 4 hours
- If you can swim a pool mile in 25 minutes, you can probably finish the SAKW in 5 hours
- If you can swim a pool mile in 30 minutes, you can probably finish the SAKW in 6 hours

Since my goal is to finish this race in 5 hours, I'm pretty psyched that I continue to stay under 25 minutes per mile. However, swimming one mile is MUCH different than swimming 12.5 miles so I'm continuing to press on in, and out, of the water.

On another note, I really need your help in fundraising. When I'm having a bad practice, I always think back to the reason I'm swimming this race. Every person I know has been affected or knows someone  who has been affected by cancer. Please help me to raise money to fight women's cancers. Every little donation counts and all donations are tax deductible. I deeply appreciate your help. To donate, please visit this site: http://do.eifoundation.org/goto/jennybrumm.
