Met Callie J at the rec center this early early morning for some fine pool swimming. My ankle is still really feeling good. Hooray! I'm going to do my run tomorrow outside.

5 min warm up

2 sets of:

6x2:30 min (30 sec rest)

5 min cool down

Finally - here is a picture of my hubby's race on Saturday (took me long enough to figure out!!). Go Tim!

have you tried saving it as a jpg and then using HTML to post the picture? If HTML won't work, try BBC code. You will probably need to save it to a photo sharing site like photobucket

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 16:49:57 from 206.19.214.144

Look at you blogging like a pro. Are you getting ready to punch someone?

From Toby on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:06:29 from 216.194.124.36

Burt - I'm totally a puncher! It was SO freezing cold on Saturday morning, I was trying to conserve every ounce of body heat.

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:19:57 from 206.19.214.144

I guess that explains why your children are so well behaved. Your husband looks like he was king for the day.

From KP on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:20:07 from 98.67.168.212

You have an adorable family!

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:24:23 from 206.19.214.144

Who me, KritEn? Thanks.

From KP on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:35:09 from 98.67.168.212

You forgot an "s" grammar nazi...

From Smooth on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:48:28 from 174.23.198.220

NICE pool workout w/ your cousin. GLAD to hear the ankle is good to go for outside running tomorrow!

CUTE CUTE CUTE family! SO AWESOME that your hubby's a runner too! :)

From Dr. Bork Bork on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 17:50:26 from 71.195.218.237

Looks cold. What a great supportive family! :)

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 18:04:21 from 206.19.214.144

Oh hoot!

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 18:04:33 from 206.19.214.144

I mean shoot!

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 18:05:24 from 206.19.214.144

By the way KP, you need to look at your friend requests on FaceBook. Oh yeah. I got you. Boo-yah!

From Bonnie on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 18:06:17 from 128.196.228.134

Toby, I do that in pictures too!

From KP on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 18:46:29 from 198.200.158.140

I know... I told Nevels I wasn't sure if I wanted to accept you... haha. You are still pending until further notice. He told me to go for it - You're an engineer so that automatically makes you a good guy. LOL.

From Burt on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 19:10:48 from 206.19.214.144

LOL! Nevels knows his stuff. But I'm not going to lie to you. I thought I found you a long time ago. It was hard because the only clues I had to go on were 1) your name is Kristen 2) you're from Alabama 3) you're BFF's name is Amy 4) you have smaller boobs than me. That should have been enough, but there's someone else that matches your profile. When that person accepted me right away as a friend I knew it wasn't you. Now I need to go back to that person and explain to them how I was trying to stalk someone else and got them instead. LOL. BTW, do you know a certain Paige Metcalf?

What a darling family!

From calliej on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 11:19:33 from 97.126.141.220

Way to go to Tim! You guys look freezing and cute! Bring those cute kids over to play. Sarah would love it.

From RAD on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 18:50:25 from 67.172.229.125

Nice work in the pool! I hope the outside run went well. What a cute family! Your hubby does look like he's king for a day. SO proud!

Burt...I've seen you around on lots of other bloggers FB accounts :)

From Burt on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 19:16:19 from 206.19.214.144

I know Rachel. I don't have real friends, only internet friends. Please accept my friend request.

From RAD on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 23:11:01 from 67.172.229.125

Burt...me either. Request accepted :)
