Daily Writing

Still Working at this daily writing.

It’s late.  Squeezing in my daily writing.  This daily writing habit is a challenge for me to find the right hook in the day to get this done.  So.  Only a workout today. No words of wisdom.  Just keep on swimming.  

Today’s Workout was a recovery swim.  3000 yards.  After two high intensity days in a row.  I could feel my body hollering at me.  So, I needed to recover.  Also, I had a meeting post-swim which meant I needed to keep the swim relatively tight to 60 minutes today.
