Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Since my last post- I lost the girl. Made tons of plans for the year and then bam.
Today (Jan 1st) I did the annual Sharkey swim at the club I go to for the third year in a row. It's a 5000 meter swim in the pool. Had five people in our lane and we each pulled a hundred meters 10 times. Rotating through the five people made it easy to count. At 3500 we stopped for about 30 seconds to regroup. One girl smashed her finger on someone's foot early on, but kept going and finished with a purple swollen finger. This was Natalie's first year doing the Sharkey, she had never swum over 2800 meters. Forgot to look at the time when we got out so I don't know how long it took, but I felt great and could have gone for a 112 mile bike ride no problem. The club had pancakes and sausage, but a group of us went to Rose's restaurant and I had a spinach and swiss cheese omelet.

  • Hey Jeff, catching up on your blog and looks like you've been keeping busy! You amaze me. Now I wish we would have gone to the Portland marathon in hopes we might have been able to meet. Great job and I'll be checking in.
