      It was 9:30 a.m. (ish), my phone said it was 66, but it felt like the mid to high 70s already. I need to get in some warm-weather runs to cover the one variable I can't control at Bayshore - the weather.

      5 miles ... got it! This will be the shortest marathon ever! ... BTW, I'm icing my knee as I type. Tweaked it going up stairs after my run today. Minor concern.

  4. swim
    great 60-length swim

    Went to the Swartz Creek pool. After a six-length (three-lap) warmup, I wanted to swim nonstop. I was surprised I felt good enough to swim 60 lengths, tying my P.R. I wasn't sure if I miscount... read more
