Bacteria-filled Saturday

Our alarms were set for 5 a.m. but we snoozed until 6 a.m. We spent 2 hours running along lakeshore path. We cycled down to Ohio Street Beach. It wasn't until we squeezed into our wetsuit that we were told the beach was closed. The reason: high levels of bacteria. The solution: we traveled 1/2 mile north to Oak Street Beach. Does a 1/2 mile make a difference...we'll let you know if we come down with any side effects. Our 2 mile swim was incredibly wavy - the conditions were more conducive to surfing than swimming.

Upon returning home, frustration set in. Our refrigerator wasn't working. We called the apartment's emergency number & our maintenance man. We were told nothing could happen until Tuesday. It takes so long for our apartment management to respond to emergencies. The solution: drink.

Well, we're off to grab a few drinks & carbo-load for tomorrows 4 hour bike & 1 hour run.
