Sound like you had a fun weekend! Your swimming is really going great! EXCITING- you are getting to be within a month of running again. Hang in there! Injury plays major tricks on the mind- be tough!

Yay...about a month until my running buddy is back in action. I need someone to run with!

Thank you for the support Marion!

Aaron, it'll be a while till I'm ready to run at your pace, you are getting wicked fast!

I was just wondering how close you were to running again! But, no worries, Walter is running 90 this week so he has you covered!

Keep it up girl... you are doing so good! I would be at the bottom of the pool if I took off the jogging belt.
