I can swim a mile, can you?

I feel like I'm part of some elite swimming club now. A week and a half ago I swam a mile straight--33 laps! I'm still pretty amazed with myself. Isn't it incredible what your body is capable of doing?? When I first started swimming eight-ish weeks ago, I could barely swim two laps without feeling like I was going to die or my heart was going to explode. And then I swam a mile. My BFF Jen also swam a mile and was telling her five year old son about it. He asked if that was something everyone could do, and she said no! We figured other than us there are just two people we know of that can do it (or have done it)--my husband and our friend Tessa. That made me feel even more bad ass for it.
