Nose to the grindstone

Well, it's Monday here, and Mondays are particularly "Mondayish" when you don't have a weekend before them, or even one weekend day! We're definitely putting in all our work and hours now so that we will be ready in another week. We had practice this am already, and then after lunch we'll head back to the pool for another session.

But even despite the work, it is still incredible to be here and to have this experience. We love checking the NBC website or the news to see how our team-mates are doing back in Beijing. Michael Phelps has already won 2 medals I hear! And our routines are getting better every day. Stephane said that our tech swim today was the best he's seen yet! Not bad for the end of a 4 hour practice! And tonight we're going to a really popular and delicious Korean BBQ restaurant which I'm looking forward to. If you've never had Korean BBQ, you simply must go! It is amazing!!

I hope everyone back home is doing well, and again I can't thank you enough for the comments and emails. I look forward to blogging every day just so I can ready them!!!
