Happy Fourth, everyone!
Still feeling a little on the ill side. Really hoping this doesn't turn into something big. Having soup for lunch, but I have to spend the whole day working on my thesis, which isn't going to help. Gonna see how I feel this evening, and hopefully go for a run or a ride.

Somewhat shorter-than-planned swim this morning. Shoulders were tired in a pre-tweak sort of way, and we didn't want to push them. Neither of us has swum much in the last month due to travel and other things, so we're trying to be smart about building back up to the longer workouts. It's frustrating not to be able to swim much (or fast) right now, but it would be still more frustrating to get injured. Meanwhile, my stroke count has gone WAY up. 17 for a push-off and 19 off a turn--both up 4 from where I was a couple of months ago. Gotta get that stroke count back down!
Tonight we're heading to the rock gym to do some climbing and spinning. Ended up with a sore throat in the afternoon, so the climbing/spinning was out. Hoping to feel well enough to work out tomorrow.

Scheduled, much-needed rest day.
It's official, I've signed up for my first half ironman! Big Kahuna, here I come!

Great crack and friction climbing on Monday Morning Slab at Glacier Point Apron. Had a bit of trouble finding the spot, so we had to do quite a bit of hiking around.
