This past week was one of those up and down kinds of weeks that happen...
Rachel and I decided that we "might" do a September triathlon and so that got me going! Ran 3.1 miles Tuesday morning with my friend Tom and then another 4 miles Thursday morning. Swam only one lap of Barton Springs on Wednesday morning cuz I'm out of swim shape and then swam 1000 meters with Jill Thursday evening at the neighborhood pool (boring swim but great company!)
Throughout the week I pondered the many blessings I have in this country of ours, even during these troubled times. I also was saddened by the death of our friend Marilyn Segner after a long battle with luekemia. You may remember that I mentioned her spirit and grace briefly in an earlier blog.
On Saturday Rachel and I rode with some Bicycle Sports Shop people from Austin to Gruene Texas... 48.8 miles. I was proud of Rachel who was very patient when I fell behind. The group leader was great as well. Very tired at the end but the waters of the Guadalupe sure felt good. Joan and Jill met us down there and we had a nice lunch at the Gruene River Inn. The 4th festivities culminated with a view of Austin Auditorium Shores fireworks from the 20th floor of the San Jacinto Center. It was quite spectacular!
