Wed I did not not do that 3 mile run before work, can't remember why now, but oh well.. it was raining as I left work, but Susan had sent out the "swim is on for tonight" email just after 5.. the workout was at Hippie Hollow & it was BRUTAL!! there were whitecaps out there.

I brought TZ signs which worked great to direct ( Read more... )
