swimming along

i made two new toronto discoveries yesterday. well, i am sure a lot of people knew about them, but i had never been to either till yesterday.
1) the keg mansion. cheryl and i went to celebrate our birthdays. her's was last month and mine is next month (16th to be exact - don't forget). i have sirloin oscar. it was so delicious. YUM YUM YUM. steak topped with prawns and scallops. sweet.
2) the Donald D Summerville pool. so it's like just about the only outdoor olympic pool in toronto and of course it's only open june-aug, from 10am-8pm. (this is a big transition from having 4 olympic sized swimming pools within 20mins of my home in melbourne, all of which are open from ridiculously early in the morning till very late at night). anyway, it was so nice to finally swim in a 50m pool and the bonus was that it was outdoors. oh i am going to go there lots. i swam a 1km last night, so that's the minimum from now on.
btw - serious half marathon training starts next week.
