quick chick

I wanted to write more because I had a GREAT run yesterday... but more on that in my next entry I think. I didn't post yesterday because I felt too exhausted when I got the time to post and instead went to bed and now I have to run because its getting trafficy. Got a ton done today before work, including a 30 minute swim which was DESPERATELY needed as I need to kick into triathlon mode. First training swim in awhile and man did it show. I need to get to two a week. The nice thing is now I get to swim outside, as shown by the one piece tan line I got today. Ah joy of summer :)
