Jen's Training Log / July 6

I'm writing from the lobby of the Douglas Lodge at Itasca State Park, where the boys and I have made a quick wifi stop after a few hours on the beach. I braved the frigid (okay, not really THAT frigid -- but cold!) waters of Itasca for a swim. I didn't get in an entire 1/4-mile, I'm sure, amidst all the recreational swimmers there... but I did, perhaps, make some progress in the intimidation factor of swimming in a lake.

Maybe I'll give it another go tomorrow. It's hard to keep up the training when I'm at the cabin with the boys and without Jay. I don't like to leave them alone here so I can run and bike... so swimming may be my thing for the next couple days. We'll see what happens. Smooches! Jen
