Nice little loop around the lake.  Not much traffic  on a Wednesday except for all the neophyte Little5ers pontooning.  I’ve never heard more Daft Punk blaring in all my life.

Started putting a 25 lb weight (see below) in the front and back hatches to help give me a little more resistance.  I wrap them in a towel/old sweatshirt so they don’t roll around and damage the inside.

Dandelion stuck in between my toes.

Daily dist: 6 miles
Total dist (training): 46 miles
Companions: None
Weather: 78 degrees.  Approaching storm.  10mph winds.  Choppy choppy water.
Notes:  Quick six.  Got a little wet with the rain, but it was cool seeing the storm front come in over the lake.   I enjoyed feeling the corresponding hot and cool breezes come from opposite directions and saw the water doing things I haven’t yet seen–little waves moving across big waves–that’s choppy.
