Tuesday swim (and invite)

As the mornings are colder and darker, it gets harder to get up and out to start my early morning swim workouts. But, today I managed to do it.

At Udall by 6:05. BCJ are already in the midst of their swim warm-up. The temperature outside is cool, but the pool water is actually kind of warm (it's nice). I complete a good warm-up and then a nice workout. Although it took a significant effort on my part to get here today, I'm glad I came and glad I have completed my workout for the day.

Just as I am collecting my gear and about to make my exit. Barbara and Charlene (the B and C of BCJ) tell me that they have a weekly Thursday run and swim tradition in which they meet at Barbara's house at 5:30am and go for a run. Then reconvene at the pool for a swim. This week, I am invited to come along. I gave Barbara my email address and she says she will email me with directions and further details (Barbara also has info for me on the name/number of a lady who runs a masters swim program on the eastside).

I tell B to send me the email and I will see if I can make it. I don't typically run with anyone else, so I am not sure if I would be comfortable in that situation. But, I guess it's worth a try.
