Solo swimming downtown/Track workout with the hubby

Well, I absolutely agree. Swimming is probably my favorite workout after a long run; probably a lot having to do with the no impact. I think that there were more lifeguards and instructors than swimmers yesterday, shocking for diving in just after 5 pm. In the process of banging out a quick 800m, I almost died -swam too fast to breathe and inhaled a ton of water in the deepest part of the pool. After having a loud coughing spell, I moved on, avoiding eye contact with the guard.

Much to my surprise, Geoff asked if he could run with me this morning. So we set out down McClure to Commercial where I had clocked out a half mile loop around the block. It was fun to have someone run with me this morning and Geoff did pretty well even though complaining about being really out of shape - I think he might be getting nervous about running the 10k!

Megan - nice Chicago detail on the blogs - very technologically savvy!

Way to go Geoff! Even after stitches?? I still haven't heard how all that went down.

Nice eye diversion after sucking down water. I've done that before...and always try to pretend nothing happened. :)

I had a near drowing experience (my first) last night at the pool too! Imagine this - it was while doing the backstroke! It was due to a large Asian man swimming past and creating a tsunami-size wave that came over me.
