So, after picking up and dropping off Fish, I decided to go for a swim at Deep Eddy. I love this pool. It’s an outdoor, 33 ? yard, spring fed pool with a constant water temperature year round of 69 degrees.
Sixty nine dude!
Seriously, it was a nice day out, clearblue sky, air temperature was about 80 degrees, I jump in, and yowser! I’m awake now.
I didn’t have my regular swimsuit, so I swam in swim trunks, also known as a drag suit. I took it easy and didn’t bother to …

I went for a run in the greenbelt today after work. I started a little late, but I wasn’t going to let something like low light stop me.

I hadn’t done a long run in awhile, so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do so. At first, I was thinking of doing 7 miles by first doing the 4 mile loop, and then the 3 mile loop.
While I was on my way out, I decided that I was not …

I was going to catch up on all the missing posts but decided against it. A lot of them, I just don’t remember, and on top of that, the runs were really shitty and I’d rather forget them than relive them.
I volunteered to be a coach for one of the marathon training groups in town. I volunteered last year and had a blast, but since I was working at the dealership and working Saturdays I wasn’t able to volunteer until now. I start training with them …
