Better late than never, here are my three things for this Thursday:

1.  I had my first Open Water Swim (OWS) this week!  I had put it off as long as possible and so … it was time.  I am so used to the 80 degree pool at Bellingham Athletic Club, that the 60 degree water of Lake Padden was a bit shocking to my system.  I must make myself get in a few more times before next Saturday.

2.  My favorite day at work was yesterday!  It was the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics of Washington.  I run a leg or two of it every year during my work day and I am so thankful I have great bosses who let me take some time to participate in something I love.  Yesterday, I ended up with just about 5.7 miles.  I ran the first leg solo and then picked up my buddy and co-worker, Kyle, for the remaining miles.

3.  In less than a week now, I will be in Boise, ID!  Race day is Saturday, June 8th. I’m praying for nice weather.
