"Zzzzzzzzzz"

Ah, Sleeping in, a true gift. This morning, I was going to follow-up yesterdays' half-mile swim with my first off-road, bike ride at El Moro Canyon near Laguna Beach, but my pillow called instead. For some reason, I didn't sleep very well last night so when 5:30 came around and the thought of hauling my ass down there came to mind, I said no with a capital N-O! In exchange, as soon as I'm done here, I'll go for a run down to the beach. Need to earn a reason to come home and make myself a big breakfast!

The channel between the Peninsula and Naples where I swim.

Long Beach shoreline/skyline where I run and cycle along the 9-mile bike path.

At a fund raising dinner last night, had the chance to chat with Judy who's been to Sunday afternoon "Yoga in the Hood"; learned she swims at 5:30 three mornings a week at the Belmont Plaza Pool here in Long Beach so I'm gonna meet up with her this week to learn some tips and techniques to get my butt moving faster in the water.

All-in-all, feeling good about my training so far. This month is going to be about going the distance in each sport; next month, will be about putting it all together in a straight line and then, boom, it's October.

Oy-to-the-vey!
