How do you like pool running? NICE workout.

Nice pool running, nice to get some xtraining in for recovery. How are the knees feeling today?

Pool running is verrrrry boring. I borrowed Teena's idea and hooked an ipod onto my hat to help pass the time.

Knees are doing better. I have not been sleeping well, so don't get up early in the morning. I hope to walk the dog for a couple of miles today in between work and volunteering at the temple.

You are a busy girl. Way to get going at the pool. Both you and Marion are doing pool training and I just think it really takes discipline to get out there and do something different to cross train. Good for you.

You forgot the blue lenses on the sunglasses. It was unintentional - but you can now tell my favorite color is blue. (Sarah - so proud of you for learning your own name!)
