I didn't take this photo, but it's close to what the sky looked like this morning as we dove into the quarry.

I couldn't wait to get in and stretch out my legs.

I took it super easy. My shoulders were aching from doing my run with a Camelbak water backpack Saturday. My legs were still hurting quite a bit from everything. Swimming was just the ticket for me today.

Two guys were running a quick 15-minute loop after the swim. It's not on my schedule. This is a recovery week. I don't need to run today, and my legs hurt. But my discipline failed and I joined them anyway. It sounded fun. It actually turned out for the best, as my legs felt a lot better after that. The stairs at work didn't even hurt when I arrived at the office at 8 a.m.

I'm glad I have an easy week this week. Things were starting to get out of control last week. I was misplacing things frequently, which is a sign of mental distraction for me. I'm getting my mind back together now.
