4th Weekend

We are back in Des Moines after a nice weekend.

Too much swimming.  But, there is a lot more swimming ahead.  Wisham got me into the North Y on Saturday morning.  I forgot my normal swim jammers and had to wear a very long pair of Brooks shorts.  They are pretty long when they are dry, but ridiculously long when wet.  They looked like kulats or man capris.  Great look for me and my short little legs.


I was able to swim for 45 minutes and do 15 minutes of core work.  Booooring.  The salt from the pool dried on my face and made my beard look even more gray / white than it already does.


Today I was back in the pool at PLF for the exact same workout.  45 in the pool and 15 of core.

This leg has to heal quickly.  I can't take it.


Teresa had two really solid runs this weekend.  She hammered out an impressive Bix @ 6 on Thursday and then got a PR for the 10K at Firecracker.


What else...we spent some time with Dave and Michelle, hung out with my Dad, met up with Chad, Dave, and Damian, had pizza with Megan and the girls, met Todd and Ronnie for a drink, went to Fischer Fest, and saw my cousin.  Fischer Fest was insane by the way...they should call it Fischerpalooza.  It was like Woodstock for families, but without the drugs and mud...although I did leave early. 


Other than that, it was a pretty quiet weekend.  I am looking forward to getting to work so I can relax.
