It feels like summer. I already have plans to ride bikes with Charmaine tonight after work, so I figured I wound’t go swimming (to save my legs for the ride). It was 77 degrees and sunny when lunch time rolled around. How could I resist swimming in that kind of weather? I couldn’t.

The pool was fairly crowded, but I was able to get my own lane at first. It didn’t last long. In the middle of my 5 x 100 free, a guy showed up and asked to share my lane. I think he chose me because I was in lane 4 and may even have looked like I knew what I was doing (based on the gear I had piled at the edge of the pool). He was fast, which made me push harder than I originally planned, but that’s probably a good thing in the long run. Let’s see if I feel the same after we ride tonight.
