Run: 3.01 miles
Wednesday I ran home from work in the heat of the day to continue acclimating to the warmer temps. It was toasty, but I kept the run short and my pace easy + steady.

Spent some time on the water Tuesday before the storms rolled in. It is so peaceful and calming to be on the water!

I know a bit about race organization and it’s a lot of work–well done!! That picture of you and Tim is fabulous 🙂 It’s great to see you getting so much use of our your paddle board. Cheers!
Thank you! It is a lot of work, but so worth it! 🥰🥳
I didn’t realize until this year that you and Tim were the organizers of that race! WOW!!!!! Great photo of you two and that one of the pups on the podium is priceless!!!
Thanks Lee! Race organizing is a lot of work, but it is so worth it to see the athletes racing and some of them crossing the finish line for the first time ever! 🥰
