Then I received a bit Of sad news as I learned that a young friend Of mine named Stevie，who has been struggling with brain cancer，took a turn for the worse。.Stevie is a really cool，funny kid and he has brought a smile to my face a number 0f times. Luckily，1 was able to get back to Baltimore to visit with him and I hope to go back again. News like this.in the middle Of an otherwise crazy and busy schedule really puts things in perspective and definitely brought me back to reality a bit. From Baltimore，I flew out to LA。for the Lenos show（with Kevin Bacon and actress Hayden Pointier 1.1t was my third time on the show and it was definitely fun. From LA，I met up with the rest of the Club Wolverine crew at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the start of a three week training camp. Then there was another day trip to NYCor a meeting with NBC before finally getting settled in and back to work. All the traveling was pretty exhausting but 1 was able to get away from the pool for a bit and meet a lot of new people. During these few weeks，I also managed to get a little out of shape and overweight and its been good to start getting my focus back to the pool（todays schedule included 3 swim practices，15 miles on the stationary bike, and abs）. Talk to vou later.
