A great way to start the week-end and wind down after a busy week: a swim in the pool. I alternate breast-stroke and front crawl - 2 lengths of each - with a couple of back stroke every now and then to give my back a rest, and use different leg muscles. My sense of direction is not very good with back stroke, though, and I keep hitting the lane rope. Still relaxing though. 600m!
A reminder that I'm aiming to raise money for KEEN: I have now swum nearly 6k (5,950m) of the 138k from Oxford to Cambridge. Only another 132k and 5m to go! As well as a personal challenge for me I am hoping to help raise some money for the great work that Oxford students do with local children and young people with special needs:
£3 will buy face paints for 10 children at Zig-Zag
£5 will pay for the squash at Allsorts for a term
£20 will pay for materials for an evening of science experiments at KEEN Teens
£100 funds one of GrEAT's legendary pub quiz evenings
£500 will fund the annual KEEN Olympics, including large marquee tents and medals for all participating atheletes
Please go to KEEN's website for more info, and to www.justgiving.com/LizTreasureSwim to donate.
Thank you!
