Summer 2016 Ultimate Pool Volleyball Championship - Best of 101:
Me: 19 Pit Crew #2: 12

Pit Crew #2 and I ran yesterday thrilled to discover we are, indeed, still able to actually run. The weather was a smidge cooler than it has been, and the humidity wasn't thick enough to choke us. It was a relief! And, our bodies appreciated the cooperation from Mother Nature!
 
We made it up our first hill, and the breathless exchange went like this:
 
Me: "That was good. We needed that win."
PC#2: "Oh. I didn't feel it at all."
Me: (pause) "I said win. Not wind."
 
To that, she totally agreed!
 
It's not a bad thing to be in partnership where both struggle a bit. Even if we struggle in different ways, we still share the experience. The past couple of weeks have been trying at best in terms of accomplishing these runs, so, to come out on the other side together is a pretty awesome feeling!
 
Win, wind, tuh-may-toe, toe-mah-toe ... "Together" sounds the same no matter how you say it!
Rest today. Run tomorrow. Ba-da-bing! That's how we're rolling this week! We'll see you after we get it done!
