This is what it looks like when it is all for fun, and there is no race on the calendar. Started a new job in July. Most of the runs/swims were in the first 6 months of the year. Only in recent weeks have I found a pool that is convenient to hit on the way to/from work and swimming should become more regular again. The dog getting old is a problem for the run stats. He was such a great trail run partner. Year in review: Road rides: 6 Miles: 138 Feet: 13,500 ft/mi: 98 MTB rides: 45 Miles: 602 Feet: 105,000 ft/mi: 175 We ride some steep, and we leave out the flat get-there-and-back stuff! Runs: 42 Miles: 145 Feet: 13,800 ft/mi: 95 Swims: 16 Miles: 11.25 Feet: 0 ft/mi: 0 Gotta learn how to swim uphill.

Swam in a salt water pool tonight. It is on my way home from work. Technically, it is on my way to work as well but that is less likely to be important. It was nice. The pool was not crowded and there were no denizens hanging around in the locker room. Time to cancel the Y membership.

Working out is good for you. So having shot bottom bracket bearings that make lots of your pedaling energy disappear as friction must also be good for you. Makes it more of a workout.
