I made a trip down to Cordele yesterday and stayed last night so this morning I planned on running. I managed to make a 3-1/2 mile run around the area in a casual 35 minutes. No hills because Cordele is basically a big, flat farming community. It was a beautiful morning, with temps in the lower 50s.

Winter will not seem to go away. It was in the upper 30's this morning after a rather stormy weekend. At the Y in the AM for a one mile swim. They forgot to turn on the heat this weekend and the water temp was 82. It was a little chilly but not unbearable. I had a good swim though I felt like I was swimming pitifully slowly. When I got through I realized my time was under 40 minutes which is about the best time yet!

It was a good start to this Friday the 13th. I made it to the Y at 5:00 and swam a brisk one mile. No, my time was not much faster than previous times but I felt really good. maybe it was the bacon and eggs I had for breakfast. My wife insists I need to eat breakfast in order to get fueled up for the day.

What a beautiful day we had today! I went to Lakebottom Park after work and ran 4 miles. The temp. was perfect but I was really tired. I did not time my run and it's a good thing cause I know I was slooooow.

Weather has been chilly the past few days but is warming up nicely. I swam 1 mile today and really felt strong. My time, though, was no faster than it has been for months. Why is that? I feel like I am swimming as fast as I can but my times are no better. I do think I am getting stronger.

Up this morning and didn't feel like running. I waited until this PM and ran after work. I managed to make it through 4.7 miles though it was not easy. I hurt in many places. Cramp in my side, legs sore and beat, BOTH heels hurting. You name it, I felt it. I hope tomorrow is better.

Our daughter had a successful interview with the leaders at the church she attends on campus at school. She is hoping to be a bible study counselor/teacher for incoming freshmen. This is a great leadership opportunity for her as well as spiritual challenge. Great job, MK!
