I swam a mile today…although it took me 45 minutes to do it… Not blazing speed but it felt good. Actually, I was just short of a mile. I thought I remembered a mile swim being 1,650 yards but afterward, I did the math and it’s 1,760 yards. I was one football field short. Damn! I took the stairs up to my office (4th floor) this morning to see how the calves were feeling and they didn’t really hurt. This is very good because I really want to run more… I am enjoying the runs (although painful) because they are not as boring as the swimming. I forgot how much I love being outdoors at dawn. It is a very beautiful time of day and I also get inspired when I see other people running in the morning… Alarm at 5:15 is becoming more normal also and it is getting easier to get up every day knowing that I am doing the right thing…
I had 5 fried eggs wrapping in iceberg lettuce with a little salt & pepper and Tapatio hot sauce after my swim… Happy Friday!!!

Good job Mark. You’re kicking ass. Wish I could go on some runs with you. Maybe on our next visit. By then you will be kicking my ass all over the place. Proud of you bro… never quit!
