I'm pretty certain we have been waiting for this blog post title for about 2 weeks. And might I add that although the title has nothing to do with training, we did swim as well.
One of the most glorious activities to do in Elkhart Lake on a Saturday morning is to attend their fantastic Farmers Market because they sell aprons. And you can't walk around a Farmers Market without Almond Joy Lattes from Thyme Savours. And then you also can't walk around a Farmers Market without purchasing antique earrings from a woman who offers up a sweet deal. Done. Done. And Done.
But let's rewind. We meet in Forest Junction, a terribly convenient meeting point that just recently came to us, and I am on the cusp of sticking a tube down my throat because I can't breath. Nor can I talk. "You know, we don't have to swim today if you can't breath." - Kelly. But we did, because aside from the swimming, we had to check off the "A's" from our list.
As consistent as ever, teamdawnkelly threw down a quick 2.4 miles because we are sleek and slippery in our newly tie-dyed wetsuits. (Kelly has the best wetsuit drama before each swim. This time, in addition to the divots, the leg was heavily discolored in an tie-dye/alligator fashion.) We get through the swim, disregarding the random bird feathers everywhere, because we know what is coming in the very near future.
Just as we exit the water at 9:30 a.m., the sun came out, just in time for our usual routine. While the sun gods were upon us, so were the parking spot gods. Almond Joy Lattes were delivered and although we were slightly disappointed in the disappearance of the apron lady, we came upon the beautiful antique jewels. "I'll give these to you instead of for $10 each, but 2 for $15." Sold. But alas, we found the original apron lady, to which we each gave our $5 for matching aprons. Could the day have gotten any better?
Yes, it could have for me. I spent a better portion of my afternoon in the emergency room getting cured for strep throat. How does one randomly get strep throat? I got my ANTIBIOTICS and TYLENOL WITH CODEINE. Life was looking up.
Oh, and I forgot to mention Kelly's newly polished toes in the PERFECT RED. Congrats on the pedicure my friend.
Okay, this time for real, up next is Race the Lake.
