It's like riding a bike?



I am married to a swimmer. If Kelly was reincarnated, he'd be a Marlin! I love that about him. He has been swimming since he was 5! He is fun to watch because he is a power house in the water! Butterfly is my favorite to watch! Well, Kelly is getting ready for his triathlon next weekend and has been busy training. He went on the Antelope Island night bike ride the other night and had a blast! He has been running with his friends at work and his friend John who is now training with him for his first tri. He has been swimming a couple days a week. He is doing great! I have never gone to watch the tri in Burley. I guess it's because I don't think the kids would enjoy standing around for 3 hours to see their dad. Maybe because it's BURLEY, ID-not my idea of a fun hang out or vacation stop. Well, to show my support I went to swim with Kel last night at the Rec Center. I was pretty nervous because it has literally been 15-20 years since I last swam laps! It is a little disconcerting to put your face into deep water and get the rhythm after so long but I made myself do it and it wasn't bad! At first I couldn't get my breathing down but after a few laps I got it. I know I have alot of practice ahead but it was nice and enjoyable and a GOOD WORKOUT! The best part was just being with Kelly. I love our "dates" where we do something active together. We love to play Squash together but don't do it near enough! Those are always our best dates and we feel good afterwords! So, I WILL go swimming again and I WILL go to Burley...one of these days, promise Kel!

You should go to Burley. Take the kids--there's City of Rocks not too far away. It's a cool place I've heard. Fun to explore.
Good on you for swimming! After I have this baby, I'm gonna start swimming to get back into shape!! I've been threatening since we got our rec center pass, but I'm really going to when I'm recouped.

How fun! And Burley isn't that bad! Ry's bro lives there.
