Swim meet day.

Run? Maybe.

AM: Push-ups, abs, core workout at the pool. Some people looking at me wierd.

PM: 8.25 hot miles around the neighborhood. Just a bread and butter run. Felt better today but I cheated and took a couple Ibuprofins.

I just realize that I seem to finish my runs on the quarter. Lots of my runs end in .25. I actually counted and I have 60 such runs in 2014.

That is 100% dead on Bret. What's up with those chocolate donuts? Maybe that's why you see so many FAT KIDS at swim meets. You don't burn that many calories in a 100 freestyle.

I brought a cheese stick and a banana for Andy today and said no to the donuts about 100 times.
