Gotta stop blogging or I’ll talk my self out of it. . .

Super pumped— until I see what I signed up for.

So I’m single this weekend, I have a date on Friday and Saturday (with Andrew, and Shelley respectively).
On going journey of waking-up-earlier-on-the-weekend-than-I-would-dream-of-waking-on- weekdays, today I signed my Saturday morning away for an one mile open water swim, followed by a five-k run. It’s an event called the Splish Splash Dash at Lake in the Hills, IL (Hi, Tim!).

Note: I don’t have my wet suit yet, so this swim I’m doing with a Speedo and some skin (brr). I’m hoping the goose bumps will keep me going after that first half mile.

Also, I haven’t done a ‘real’ open water swim in about 8 or so-years (Hello college --remember when I used to lifeguard for Delaware Dam? Yeah, it’s been that long.) Wooo HOOO~!

Sure, I’ve been swimming with TNT, we did ½ mile last week. umm...

I think that this is some kind of sickness—seriously, even though I have plans to hang out with great folks all weekend, I can’t wait to swim, and I’m interested to see how a 5 K will feel afterward. This really is becoming my idea of a really good time.
