rosebarnalice, are you going to add all our miles up at the end of the month? Just curious.

Yea! Someone almost as slow as I am! )

Swimming just wasn't going to happen without the pool being open, obviously. And I just couldn't squeeze in that last ride. Proud of my running this month though.

You guys are inspiring! Keep up your awesome work!
