A Meme By Any Other Name (Would Not Be This Short)

I've been "tagged" by Cindy - who by the way has a new countdown widget that says next up for her is a 70.3 IM!!!! Woo hoo! I love this vicarious stuff - I will certainly be following that journey! But I digress (as usual). She tagged me for the six word meme going around (that I read somewhere started with Hemingway - the king of spare prose.) Here are the rules:

1) Write your own six word memoir.

2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.

3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.

4) Tag at least five more blogs with links.

5) Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

6) Have fun.

Love, reach, live - stronger than before.

(Betcha didn't think I could narrow anything down to six words, did you? Well, me neither - but surprisingly I realized as I sat with this challenge that those six words apply to everything in my life - mommyhood, art, training, partnership, and my just plain being in this world.)

And with that, I do hereby tag RBR, Southbay Girl, Maryland Girl, Willie ... and ....er...who hasn't done this already? Ok, I may have to break the rules. Oh wait, IM Able - I don't think she's done it! Oh - and Running Knitter!! Look at me being an over-achieving tagger!

Training Notes - 700 yd swim today was a mere 16:30 in the pool but my breathing was terribly ragged. I thought about tacking on some extras yardage just to see if I could stretch it out and ease my breathing. In the end I stuck to the training plan because it is a slippery slope when I start tacking stuff on. Happy training to all!
