hi Mr. Charlie! Good week and great job on the 10k btw. You are so fast and I am so jealous. I am sooo slow these days in this heat. It is summer, things are suppose to be slower, right? At aleast that is what I keep telling myself.

I see you are swimming. Do you bike too? The bike is kicking my tail.

Hi there Ms Natalie!

Looks like you had a wonderful vacation in SC! Welcome Back!

I like to swim especially after my runs...but anytime it's warm, it's nice to jump in the pool...I just love the water.

Bike...well...I have two bikes. A mountain bike and an old 10 speed racing bike...but don't you try to convince me into training for a TRI...No way...I want to concentrate and meet some goals in my running first...although using swimming and biking as cross training is all good too! ;o)

You'll get the hang of the bike...it's really not that difficult...just get use to running through the gears...carefully! ;o)...And be careful of the traffic out there...most people in cars and trucks are nice and considerate...but it just takes that one jacka** to mess things up.

But I think you're doing great!
Charlie
