the secret of Pam

tonight we got our team in training wetsuits at swim practice. i held it up wondering how the heck i could pour myself into this tiny thing. enter the bottle of Pam. (or generic Kroger Spray Canola Oil in my case. at least it was plain, as opposed to the garlic or lemon others had!). our coaches instructed us to spray it over the parts of your body that are larger than others... calfs, thighs, butts, etc. we all slathered our bodies in the stuff, held our breath, sucked it in, and
stepped in. there's nothing better than this neoprene body glove to make you instantly commit to a diet. wow. pulling on that thing royally sucked. i'll just leave it at that. on the other hand, it was very cool to jump in the water and feel so buoyant. you also seemed to glide through the water a bit more easily. once these darn allergies leave me, it will be very cool to actually breathe normally while swimming too!
