As I mentioned in a previous post, I am in deep cleaning mode at my house. I found several boxes of my old high school track/cross country stuff. I was really excited to find all my old training logs. Then the excitement when down the drain when I saw how fast I USED to be. I'm NOT going to grow old - I refuse :) (I will report more of my finds later)

Growing old isn't so bad.

Great job in the pool.

Maybe I should rephrase it and say "I won't slow down" :)

Just close your eyes and know you're running faster than you ever have before! That is what I've been doing when I aqua-jog and spin :) Then when we can get back at it we WILL be that fast!!

You are doing a great job! You are fast, faster than me!I asked chuck yesterday about his running and he said he is " running like a deer." He said he is going to blow passed us. Sounds like a challenge.
