DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!!  :-)  I realize the stupidity of my actions, but it felt so great, I couldn't help myself.  Hopefully there won't be consequences!  

Got up early to get this in before I had to meet the carpool for my tennis match in Olympia.  Was perfect weather, about 60 degrees and overcast.  Did 6 full laps and a mini lap around the neighborhood. 

TT: 1:42:10    AP: 10:13

Splits: 10:42, 10:39, 10:23, 10:33, 10:32, 10:12, 10:07, 9:53, 9:30, 9:35  (I'm slow!)

Then off to Olympia for the tennis match.  I won 6-1, 6-3, our team lost (again) 2-3.  Sooo happy I didn't have to play the other singles player, that match went 2.5 hours!  We were going to go golfing when I got back but it was drizzling, boo. I'm tired now!
