every time i try to go something prevents it...lightning, swim meet not on their schedule, and now the indoor pool is shut down for some repairs...the outdoor is open, but very limited hours and the weather here isn't cooperating lately

i should give up

i did some laps today too. it's becoming my new thing. tough to get out for a jog every day. but i think i might be getting a harder workout in less time swimming

I'm currently only comfortable in my own pool. But we've let her kids have one friend over at a time in the pool, and the neighbors used it when we weren't home, and I don't think we have COVID yet

i'm new to this attempting to run thing, but i think high 50's, sunny, with a slight breeze is deal for anything outdoors in which i'm not sitting still
