AM: 6.5 mile walk around Dunedin. That takes a while.

PM: 1 mile swim in the VERY WARM Highlander Pool in Dunedin Fla. Turns out they're going to demolish this pool after this season and build a deluxe new one. Since I swam in it on opening day in 1978 I can now say that I swam in it the year ir opened and the year it closed.

They were playing Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" on the speakers at the pool deck today and I was thinking the same song definitely could have been playing in 1978.

Thanks for the details on Dunedin Rob. Nostalgic for the pool and the Hammock for our HS cross country course in and around the community center and the pool etc. If you have not checked out the Billy Joel documentary on HBO - you may enjoy that. And I think you "may be right" about 1978. Pun intended.

Ha! I get it.

I've been using the community center gym and the windows face the pond so I've been remembering cross country glories.
